the mean text messages have to stop but how?

I need some advice. Lately no matter how nice I am to the ex and his girlfriend they are sending me loads of mean text messages. I try to ignore them but they make it out to be about the kids but it is actually a way to harrass and put me down. The latest run of them has been telling me I am a fat ass, and a horrible mother and that his girlfriend may be half the women I am but she is ten times the mother. See the thing is I do not care what either of them think about me. I know I am a good mother my children love me and are happy. I just am getting really tired of them trying to hurt me. What can I do? The only thing I do know that is defending myself is the worst thing to do because then they just get meaner. Please help me I am so sick of it....

Do not acknowledge the text messages, they are just doing it to hurt you. If you ignore it eventually they will stop.

The way we handle our problems define who we are. Always do the right thing, don't trash your ex to your kids as they will come to their own conclusions in time, and be a parent first and a friend next to them.

Who cares what your ex and his friend are doing, donot engage them, as they are not worth your time. You are in a period of change, and sometimes change is a hard thing to go through. Change is the law of life. Look after your health, be busy with worthwhile pursuits and continue to think of positive thoughts. Difficulties strengthen the mind as labour does the body, so you will be a stronger woman. Soon, this mess will be behind you as you start new exciting beginings.

take your phone to the police, file a harassment report and get a restraining order.

Check your divorce decree, see if there is a clause in there regarding not disparaging the other parent - if so, take your phone to court with a contempt charge for each crappy remark.
