Alex, my empathy too. As one of Helen's links last year noted, these sickies often persist for ten years or so. Follow your instincts, don't try to understand it all. And be careful in the 3D world. Document events but don't let it control your life. There are legal protections, but usually it never comes to that, besides, I found that most stalkers don't have the intelligence or the "connections" to really carry out their threats. Unfortunately, they just shift their attentions to someone else when they get bored with you.
