What is the best way to deal with someone who is controlling, emotionally abusive, and an alcoholic?

I have broken up with him, he calls/texts, insults me, degrades, cusses, screams, slams the phone down, demands to see me, is always accusing me of cheating, says I'm abusive/crazy, etc...



He's an ex-convict and he's made it clear that if I went to the police, he'd retaliate. So, how do I get him to want to move on without him being so hateful?What is the best way to deal with someone who is controlling, emotionally abusive, and an alcoholic?
Cut all ties with him. Change your phone number, don`t answer, his texts. Don`t give him any chance to continue that behavior.



I still say go to the police and talk to them about what they can do for you. You should not have to put up with that. Good luck.What is the best way to deal with someone who is controlling, emotionally abusive, and an alcoholic?
leave them
change yur number
dont feed it you should stop all contact
talk to him peacefully
Go to the police. He can try and retaliate from prison.
Threats are mostly just that.He probably knows you won`t go to the cops because his threat is enough.Call him on it,you`ll be surprised at the results.
it's all the drugs. I don't think that there is much that you can do directly to him to convince him. You will have to ask and work with someone he loves, like his family; someone he looks up to when he is having a hard time. That will be the person that will convince him.
leave town..
Have you tried just letting an answering machine take his calls? It also might be a good idea to go to Al-Anon. They can help you with your self-esteem and also with the language to use to set him straight without setting him off. You mention wanting to know how to get him to move on. You don't have that kind of power. You take care of yourself first. Good luck with this. You deserve a better life.
