Cheers! I enjoy giving advice and I think I'm good at it. Is it pretentious to say I refuse to answer questions about "Love" from people who are under age 16? I don't think love is real when you're 14, and I don't think you can fall in love in a month. I won't dignify that kind of stupidity with an answer. I also won't answer questions with terrible grammar. I just make fun of them on myspace! I know that's not nice, but it's just SO easy. And it's so unfair for me to give them a good, honest answer when they haven't asked a good, proper question. Ask me a real question and I will give you a real answer!

Sorry this is long.
My stepmother is really scaring me. She really has psychological problems. It started with little things like her moving my stuff, or ripping it up, or being jealous over my mother and father who were still friends at the time. She started coming with my father in the car every time he picked me up because she was so untrusting and thought he'd go off with my mother in that 20 minute time. I don't see them any more because of completely unrelated issues, but we started getting odd stuff through the post about a year or two ago (around when all this odd stuff started happening). Stuff like magazines writing to us saying a friend had referred us and stuff. It got worse; with items actually being ordered and sent to us - pornographic books, clothes catalogues for women over 50 or size 16+, that kind of thing. Around six months ago we recieved a parcel that said 'From Connor' on the back. Connor is my seven year old cousin. The parcel had an 18 rated horror movie in it that had obviously been watched before. We checked with Connor and his mum and they definately did not send this.
Then two nights ago, we got an envelope with 'from Ryan' (my other younger cousin) on the back and a picture of me in a swimming pool inside. We couldn't figure out why Ryan would send me a picture of myself so rang him up but his mother and him both confirmed none of them sent this envelope. The next day (yesterday) we got another one, still saying from Ryan, this time with several parts of pictures - cut out so I was the only one in the picture - of me in the same swimming pool, this time with the fragments of pictures stuck on a piece of purple card. I recognised the pool this time, it's a place I went on holiday with my stepmother and father a couple of years ago.
So, it's obvious it's from my stepmother (who really hates me and my mother, I should add). But I don't know what to do about it. Me and my mother are considering the police, but I;m not sure. I don't want her to be charged or whatever and then get all mad and come after us - because she is psychotic like that. I don't want to have to be part of witness protection or something, and there is a huge possibility that she would keep doing this or doing worse if we accused her of anything. What the hell do we do?
Thanks, and sorry it was so long.

Talk to your dad! Let him know what's going on--if there's anymore stuff sent to your house, save it as evidence. Talk to your dad privately and tell him you're scared of his wife and you want this harassment to stop--if it doesn't, you may need to get a restraining order.

Also, check the postage stamp on the envelope. What city are your pictures coming from? There may not be a return address, but there should be a stamp verifying which branch of the postal service it came from.

(Rating: 5) Thanks :) We have been looking at the stamps and they are from her city...one of the main reasons we think it's her. Thanks loads anyway, that's a really great idea of saving the stuff as evidence. xxx
