I was like, what the hell, why didn't you go home. My son was in his room with the door closed, she was on the sofa, it was so strange. I finally told my son that she was never ever ever ever going to be welcomed in my home again and if she set foot on my property I would call the police. Did that matter to her, not in the least. At my Christmas party she parked her car outside my house and sat there for 45 minutes while guests came. She was on the phone with my son, crying begging him to let her in and how mean and horrible I was. My son was so upset. I finally said to him,"look I told you months ago she would never be welcomed here and this is our Christmas she is NOT welcome. She just refused to leave. Finally I couldn't stand it anymore. It was horrible, I had 50 people in my house it was our Christmas party and this insane stalker wouldn't leave. I went into the garage and grabbed a bat, my intention was to smash her windshield with it and scare her. My husband said I would be arrested, I said I didn't care, it would be worth it. My one son went outside and told her what I was planning on doing. She left. Did that stop her NO. She showed up and my son's college graduation, it's a public place not much you can do. I finally made it clear to her that if she ever came near my home again I would hurt her. Finally she left, but only with the fear of extreme violence against her. No restraining order will stop these crazy people, they don't obey the law. The only thing she understood at that point was that I would hurt her. Your read about these people on TV stalking, breaking into houses, killing ex-lovers. The only thing they understand is how to dominate with fear, luckly I put a greater fear into her and now she married some poor fool. God help him and his famiy. It's funny how fear will make you angry and strong. There was no way I wa going to let her hurt us any more.
And people wonder why I'm overly cautious about what information I'll give online.

So sorry to hear something like that happened to your family. While stuff like that is fairly uncommon, it's becoming more of a problem, and I'll stand by my stance of limited info available about me online.
