I'm not sure where else to turn; it really feels like I'm less than human when treated like this.

Not only was the Woman absolutely awful to me, but at the end of the relationship, she considered it 'bending over backward because I was having a hard time' when my Aunt died. Then I broke up with her and let her know how awful the treatment was; unfortunately, she still had possession of my late Aunt's sweater(soon after) and refused to send it back unless I spoke with her. When I refused vehemently I went through our mutual friends, all I got was jeers. After she called me petty and pathetic for being so emotional I messaged her mother asking for the Sweater, apologizing and explaining myself.

All the while I was sending evidence of her messaging and calling me to the police; emailing them personally even. When months later I get the police to my door telling me I have to drive 4 hours to go to court. I was still grieving at the time and wasn't in my right mind to fight the charges but I still went. Not once during the trial nor from the police was I told what I was accused of; even brought evidence to the Full Hearing that I wasn't allowed to show unless "I take it to trial". She had a lawyer present, which I did not, who continually asked for continuance; forcing me to come back over and over. In my stupidity and grief, I accepted the Protective Order because I thought it would force an end.

There is no end, The police do not help me; I've gotten many messages from random #'s telling me I'm being watched and hated, etc, etc. When I called them they said 'it only affects you, nothing you can do' and that I 'shouldn't have accepted it'. After many calls and attempts, I received a police report telling me that she received 'harassing text messages' and that was why I was charged. The Judge was a woman who was obviously biassed as I had to go to trial to present evidence.

Be wary fellows. This shit is rigged, unfair, hypocritical and cruel; if you ever get charged with something (even 3-hour drive both ways) fight it. Fight it hard; because now after speaking with a great many lawyers, it's obvious that there's nothing I can do. This will be on my record for life and all I did was treat an abusive narcissist well until she tried to extort/accused and sued me. Please Please be safe
