		<description>My ex and I didn&#039;t part amicably.  We stayed together for about two years after the birth of our son and I finally said enough is enough, of course that was for TONS of reasons, not all adoption related.  I haven&#039;t seen him physically since the day I moved out, but I have had about ten million phone conversations with him because he hacked my email and got my phone number.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I eventually just got to the point that I would say, I don&#039;t have time to talk now, and I would appreciate it if you didn&#039;t call me again.  It finally ended after I called his mother and father and asked them to ask him to leave me alone.  I know, pretty sad, but that was what my therapist suggested.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes there just isn&#039;t a good answer, but self preservation is the most important thing.  At this point, I can talk to his parents, but I can&#039;t to him, for alot of reasons.  If I saw him, I would keep walking, I don&#039;t care if it does hurt his feelings, mine are more important to me.</description>
