[quote=Anonymous]My mom has been happily remarried for 14 years now, and her last marriage has been really positive. Before that, she had a marriage from when I was 17 until I was 25. My former stepfather was in my life from ages 9 to 14.

The problem is that he still finds ways to contact me. The biggest issue? He keeps asking for my mom’s phone number or where she lives. I’ve told him repeatedly that she doesn’t want contact and that I’m not giving out any information, but he keeps pushing.

It’s not just that—he also comments on my decisions and gives unsolicited advice about my life, like he still thinks he has a say in what I do. He’s even gone so far as to contact family and friends about us, trying to get information or updates. I’ve blocked him multiple times, but somehow he keeps finding new ways to reach me, phone calls, emails, but mainly texts.

It’s exhausting and honestly feels manipulative, like he’s trying to control me or use me to get to my mom. My mom has made it very clear she doesn’t want contact anymore, which I fully respect, but I also need to set firm boundaries.

Has anyone else dealt with a former stepparent who keeps overstepping like this, even reaching out to other people? How do you handle it without escalating drama or making things worse?
