My heart dropped to my underwear because I've read your story. Please don't respond to that disgusting douchbag. I know you have been doing better and keep on going in the opposite direction of him. Maybe think about getting another Facebook account. Delete the one you have.

I have a friend who did this for a different reason but she only used her first and middle name and not her last. She messaged friends and told them it was her because she didn't use a photo of her for her profile. In settings make sure the search engine is turned off. Make sure only friends can look you up by email and phone number. Only receive requests from friends of friends. I know he can still message you and it goes into a filtered file but hopefully this will help. Have everything only for friends to see. I don't know of anyway to make your cover photo private but don't have anything of you in it. You may have to do this for a good while because they tend not to give up easily. They wait a while but they will show up again. Even if you don't make a new Facebook I would definitely do the rest and use your first and middle name for now . Fix the privacy settings the way I was talking about .

I know you will stay away from him but make it very difficult for him to find you again on Facebook. Of course if you have messaged with them in messenger if he never deleted the conversation and I think they can still even come back and message you if they can find you and it goes in the file of your messages like it would with your friends. You say he's using fake accounts but I still say new Facebook account. It can be a pain but better be a pain doing this instead of hearing from his no good a#%.

Stay strong and stay in contact with us. Much love <3
