If anyone knows of a way to do this I would love to know please I have had my number for to long to change it now
Thanks
@LynneI am sorry for what you are going through. It's none of my business, but it sounds like you went out of your way to make a restraining order for a reason. While you may not want to ruin their life, they are ruining yours in one way or another, even if just a little with inconvenience. Do not feel guilty. Do not feel bad. They are the bad ones. You would not be ruining their lives, they are ruining there own. "I shot someone, it was the guns fault not mine" Why should you change your number, and why would that even stop them from pursuing you one way or another? Clearly this person did not get the memo and if you block them from leaving voicemail / change number they make look for other methods of contact or do even worse things.
One thing I have learned in my life is when you give an inch, they take a mile. Letting them get away with this is an inch. If the restraining order was not enough to stop them, then why will this be the end?
If it was me, I would call the police, while you still have proof that is left on your voicemail and before things could get a lot worse. Hindsight can often be avoided by taking a step back and really thinking about what is happening and almost every situation there was warning signs. They may even think because you have not called the police they are getting close to getting back in your life and they can fix things and have a big plan. The threat of violating a restraining order doesn't scare them? Then find something that will. Call the police.
