I have known him for 3.5 years. I notified I wanted to gradually end things well over a year and that we may remain friends. However, he has become progressively worse and much more abusive. Unfortunately he knows where I live but we live several hours away. He knows my phone number and email. He states he has pictures of me and threatens to "expose" me too my family and employer. If we live in different counties would the authorities be able to do anything? Or would they just take a report of it happening? Can you file a restraining order against sometime you never lived with?

Hello, What is the best way to deal with a client who has become obsessive to the point of threatening and abusive. For context, I believe this client is/was in love with me to unhealthy level. Once I told him I was no longer would continue as a provider it took a dark turn where he has become very abusive and threatening. What is the best way to deal with a situation like this?
