Dear Kim.

Sorry to read about your affairs, hope they will soon be sorted. I think as a parent you will always be protective over your kin regardless of age. I have 3 fine boys, the oldest being 19. He is free in this world to do as he choses but i will always be protective over him as i would my younger 2. Age has no bearing on making decisions. Even older generation make right/wrong decisions. I know it is hard to let go and to respect there decisions, it comes down to just offering advice and guidence rather than a command or instruction.

I hold a very relaxed view on all people and that is we are all human,flesh and blood and breath the same air and share the same soil wherever you walk. We just have different size lungs and feet.

Sean.

When death catches me, the race is over but i know i never came 2nd.

Thank you all for your views. Yes it is stalking and I have known this for a long time. It has got out of hand. My daughter is not the same girl, it has taken the life out of her, she refuses to go out alone and even when she is inside she feels unsafe. She has become more nervous too.

The main comment here that made me feel assured was the recent one by an Irish Traveller, thank you so much for your comment. I didn't really think this was normal behaviour, but to hear you say it has made me realise how strange these particular individuals on my road are, they do not represent travellers, I realise this.

I have decided over Christmas, that I will think about moving abroad. It is something I think both me and my daughter need, a fresh start. My daughter is very keen on the idea and from our experience, wherever we go in the country, this family seem to find us. So perhaps leaving is the best option for everyone. My daughter has been at the end of a lot of cruel, sick behaviour and she is now 19 and has her whole life ahead of her. I will not let this family ruin that. They have tried to degrade her.

Thank you everyone for your advice and help. I needed to double check that I wasn't going mad :) so got a few extra opinions from all of you. Thank you so much, you have helped me to make a big positive decision.

God bless and good luck to all of you and your families :D

hi kim your story is a first for me lol im an irish travler and i know we like to keep to our selfs the boy that is stalking your daughter is not an irish travler just because the boys dad told you his dad was an irish travler dont mean he was telling you the truth did you ever see his dad?. and your from ireland and they carried on the same way as the travellers back in ireland what way did your kind treat my people back in ireland you tell me that one.

were not just irish were were travellers and proud at that im third generation born and bred in england and am i just irish then no im not im a pavee your kind of people will never put us down because our harts are to strong, so kim you go and leave the country and move abroad like you said in ur posts all because of a boy you think is a irish travler.

and cj eastwood we dont speak a launguage that is based on irish gaelic we speak the cant or sum call it the gammon which is based on hebrew Greek and Latin and sum irish gaelic with our own pavee words all togehter mixed to make up an old language that has been spoken by my people for over a hundernds of years. so cj eastwood how would you feel if i dident call you romany or english travler but just an english man from english people.

Hi I am new here and I am just jumping in on the tail end of this thread. I am horrified by what I have just read! At first it seemed like awwwww it's only young love but as I read on I was quite scared for you both. Good luck with your move. It seems a shame to have to but I don't think your daughter will be safe and happy with that chap at all

Take care xx

It's just a shame Kim that you are having to leave to escape these people, but to protect your daughter and give some semblance of her life back its something you have to do unfortunately. The last thing either of you need is your girl being pressured into marriage with either of these wholly unsuitable young men, regardless of the intentions of the other family to bulldoze her into it, and to me it is perfectly obvious that it would be a marriage-made-in-hell for which she would surely suffer terribly.

I have a stunningly beautiful 18 year old daughter (she really is!!) for whom there is NO WAY I would ever allow her to be subjected to this type of mental abuse and harrassment, (plus she has three older brothers who might have something to say about someone trying this with her :angry:), however if it came to it we would readily up sticks to protect her if thats what it takes.

Abroad is fine Kim. I live in France - you can be perfectly happy here, its not another planet!!

dordi this is like reading some kind of horror story..........only worse because its real.

but 11 years is a very long time so i think moving as far away as possible is the best option for all concerned, & the sooner the better, im sure your family will all be more relaxed & happier when away from the situation...............a clean break & fresh start

good luck to you & your family for the future

all the best
