When Control Crosses the Line—Again.

There’s a point where “concerned family” becomes controlling, where “checking in” turns into obsession, and where “staying connected” slips into outright stalking.

I’ve reached that point. Again.

Despite a legal restraining order—clear, binding, and put in place for very real reasons—certain relatives continue to cross boundaries with no respect for law, therapy, or healing. This time, it’s not just watching me online. It’s watching my friends, my support system, those I trust most.

This is not innocent curiosity.
This is harassment.
This is control disguised as concern.
This is breaking the law.

These behaviors aren’t just hurtful—they’re illegal. I have reported this again to the Guardia Civil, my lawyer, and my psychologist. It’s exhausting, it’s invasive, and it’s a stark reminder of how deeply controlling family systems can reach—even after you break free.

Let me be clear:
🔒 A restraining order is not a suggestion.
👁️ Watching someone’s every move online is stalking.
💔 Trying to disrupt someone’s healing journey is abuse.

To those who’ve been through this: you’re not overreacting. You’re not being dramatic. And you don’t owe anyone your silence to keep their reputation intact.

To the ones doing the watching:
You don’t get to rewrite history. You don’t get to hide behind the mask of family. And you certainly don’t get to break the law without consequence.

I speak up not just for myself, but for everyone silenced by “what will people think?” and “it’s just online.” Abuse is abuse—digital or physical.
And breaking a restraining order is a crime.

This post is for documentation. It’s for truth.
And most importantly, it’s for freedom.
