Summary

Melissa was stalked by a man she dated. Shortly after their relationship began, his behavior changed drastically. During their time together and even after they broke up, he persistently followed her, called her from unknown numbers, created fake social media profiles, and his actions eventually became violent. Despite reporting him to the police, Melissa received no help, and his behavior only escalated. Now, she shares her story to support and help others going through similar experiences.
