What Makes A Person Hold A Grudge, Stalk Another Person S Activities And Influence Others To Traumatize The Victim?

My husband had an affair ten years ago with a woman who is mentally ill. She has been harassing me for ten years even though I am getting a divorce and my ex is with someone else. This woman watches me all the time. She listens to me talking to others then sends someone to repeat what I said or what others say to me. She does this 24/7. What type of mental illness does she have?

Hello,

If you do not have any issues with your husband then there's absolutely no need to get a divorce. Why to get a divorce because of some other person. If you have issues with your husband then its another thing. Getting a divorce will serve her purpose for which she has worked for so many years. You are already a sufferer, why should you be now love- forlorn.

Stalkers suffer from personality disorders that leads them to such problematic behaviors. From the information given by you it seems that she is an obsessed stalker. Obsessed stalkers thinks about the person they idolize. Stalking is about obsession. They are psychologically unstable. She may also feel rejected. This type of stalker have a feeling of rejection within them and often keep an eye on their partners.

Incompetent stalkers use methods that are harassing or terrifying. They are suitors seeking a partner. These obsessed people may show repeated behaviors with a purpose of trying to deal with obsessive or obtrusive thoughts. They have the inability to stop thinking about a certain topic or image without anxiety. Among the most troubling, however, are sexual obsessions.
