[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister is 5 years older than me, and is single without children.[b] We are not in contact with her due to past situations in which she threatened our children[/b]. She lives on the opposite coast, and we can mostly avoid her. She had been hospitalized before for mental illness but I am not sure what her diagnosis is or if she receives consistent medical care. I would say that the symptoms visible to me as a layperson suggest a personality disorder but I have no real idea what’s going on. Anyway, the problem now is that she is harassing me and DH from afar. She signs us up for email and mailing lists (literally thousands of them), or submits our contact information to the kind of salespeople who don’t let up (fancy gym membership reps, aggressive real estate brokers, etc.). Because of my DH’s line of work, he cannot easily scrap his his phone number and can’t block, say, every call from a certain area code because it’s where many of his clients reside. We have no idea of how to deal, legally and practically, with the onslaught of calls, emails, mail, and general harassment (via third-parties) that she creates for us. We know it’s her because she’s told my mom that she does this. It’s getting really difficult to keep changing our emails and other phone numbers to avoid her, and we aren’t in a position to move and change our physical address.

Does anyone have insight into what her problem may be and how we can navigate it? [/quote]

This troubles me greatly.  What exactly were the threats? Any evidence?[/quote]
