Why is my ex trying to provoke an argument with me?

Our breakup process started when she started going out drinking, about when our daughter was 2

My daughter from a previous relationship would come over, my ex would leave that weekend n party the whole weekend away. Coming back Sunday. Leaving me with the three kids.

Inevitably she had an explosive outrage and demanded I moved out n that it was over.

Why do women have sex with dogs?

It eventually became an every weekend thing, then her friend started coming over, every single day. She wouldn't leave. And my ex was letting her invade our life.

My ex did this,

Eventually the phone calls n texts slowed to a stop. Eventually she stopped coming home. And when she did it was instant anger and yelling.

I was awaken between 2-3am by a voice that said “Hey”. Literally right next to my ear. Sounded like a males voice, but it wasn’t stern or deep. What could this mean?

So without knowing your situation. I'm guessing your ex had to provoke an argument with you because something on their end did not fall into place as planned, so as a way out. They had to point a finger at you

She claimed her friend who was newly single needed her support.

I'm assuming she was trying to flee from accountability in her life, probably got caught doing something from the new boyfriend she suddenly had, so to get out of the spot light, she had to put me in it.

How can targeted individuals protect themselves from organized stalking? Have you discovered practical strategies?

Fast forward to 2.5 years later. The explosive anger and aggression came back out of no where. Long texts, picking fights, threats, anger, rage, chaos.
