Ex glomming onto my family

[Anonymous]

Look, if your Ex is a charming manipulator, he's doing this to get to you.

So don't take the bait. You have told your family how he hurt you. If they are still friendly with him, that's on them. Live your life. Ask them not to talk about him or his parties in front of you, but otherwise ignore.

EX is looking for a reaction. Don't give it to him. If you tell your family not to have contact with him, and even one of them tells the EX this, he's going to gloat over the power he has over you. Just brush him off like a pesky fly.

+1 For some people, every single thing they do is for effect. Feel sorry for him.

OTOH, OP is probably wondering how her own family could have let her down so profoundly. Family is supposed to there for you when you need them, not there for the people who abused you. In my case, I realized had no family when they behaved the way OP's family did (actually worse -- my mother reached out to my ex; he was delighted). That was the end of my relationship with them. They were worse than having no family at all, which made it a no-brainer.
