Today, after nearly a year of being stalked, harassed and even terrorized, the police finally found out who my stalker was. It was my 19-year-old son, who thought it would be a fun prank to pull. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I found out my stalker is my mom's new boyfriend. FML
Today, my nineteen-year-old son attempted to mug me. With a screwdriver. FML
Today, I got a stern talking-to from the police about threatening and harassing people. Who had called them? None other than my stalker, whom I'd just informed about the restraining order I was filing against him after finding him in my house. For the second time. FML
Today, my stalker from 16 years ago has apparently come back. Hello, police protection. FML
Today, I found out the person who's been stalking and harassing me online was actually my now ex-boyfriend. He only confessed as I finally picked up the phone to report it to the police. He basically said he wanted me to turn to him for comfort and protection, so he could "feel like a man". FML
Today, I found out the identity of the pervert who's been staring at me through my bedroom window in the late hours of the night. My parents and I decided to set out a trap for 'him' instead of reporting to our local cop. Turns out, we caught my 37 year-old neighbor in the act. He's the cop. FML
Today, the police arrived at my door, telling me my child had been caught vandalizing. A boy who looked about 15 hugged me and said, "Hey, mum." I'm only 26 years-old and had never seen this boy in my life. FML
Today, I learned that my stalker is still trying to weasel their way into my life even after they doxxed me, cyberstalked me, harassed me, threatened me, and attempted blackmail on me. All this just because I told them that their boyfriend groomed me when I was a minor. FML
Today, early in the morning, I got a knock on the door from the police. It seems my son and his friend had been caught throwing toilet paper at a neighbour's house. He's 23. FML
Today, my stalker - an annoying guy who's dedicated the past three years of his life to stalking me at every turn - somehow got a hold of my number and started texting me at 10pm about how I have no life. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

This needs a follow up. I wonder how he is going to be punished

This is disturbing, especially the fact he went on with this messed up prank for so long

Well this certainly doesn't sound like just a 'prank'; that may be his excuse but since he has been doing it for a while I'd say he has some problems.

How did you not recognise him? Or was it not actually him doing the stalking...?

Stalking people isn't just following them around. He could be sending letters and stuff.

good job raising the boy.

Fu needed! If it were a week, okay, kinda twisted practical joke. But a year to his mother who he can see is clearly terrorized by it, that's flat out sociopathic. As for "punishment", he's 19. She can't ground him. Let the system take care of him. He obviously needs help

And fortunately enough -- albeit absolutely incredibly -- the system can provide that help! What you suggest is called "good riddance". Though I agree that the kid is disturbingly weird...

I would be worried that the "system" would only punish him instead of help him. I would maybe get a psychiatrist. There's also the possibility he actually thought it was a prank and funny and is extremely immature, but a psychiatrist could help deal with that too.

Plot twist: the prank explanation is merely an excuse. He thought he was stalking someone else.

"No mother, it was an honest mistake. I thought you were this hot chick that I met."

That went on for way too long for it to be just "a fun prank". I'd say your 19 year old son has some serious issues and you should let the system deal with him like any other stalker. This really needs a follow up, I and I'm sure everyone else would love to find out what happened next.

Yeah, I agree. Your son either has serious mental problems or you never taught him how to be a respectful person, OP. People magically assume that their children are going to grow up to be wonderful people, without ever bothering to teach them how to be good or decent people or that it's important to be one. And then people wonder why all these "nice guys" are being accused of horrible things and mummies start crying that they can't imagine their baby would ever do such a thing.

Way to crap on people with mental illnesses. You do realize that most people who have mental illnesses are more likely to be the victim of a crime, rather than the perpetrator? Mental illness totally could be something that the son has, but it isn't the reason why he did it.

so you're OWN son followed you around for a whole year? what the ****

This fml is extremely disturbing...did your son not realize how scary this could be for you? This is not a harmless prank.

No bright side to this.
