I was out of control.. therapy saved me
Jilted lovers make up almost half of all offenders treated for obsessive, stalking behaviour.
Thomas transformed from a law-abiding, hard-working father and husband into a crazed stalker when his wife of seven years left him.
A spiral of obsessive behaviour culminated in him bugging his exâs home and recording her with her lover.
Thomas, an office worker from North Yorkshire, says: âLooking back, I had no idea what I was doing. I was out of control. I only realised when I went to court and saw it all there in black and white â the hundreds of phone calls and the texts and the times I showed up at the house.
âIn my mind I was just trying to save my marriage, but to her it was harassment. I couldnât see that difference. That was why I needed the counselling.â
Thomas had been married for seven years when his wife asked him to move out. She gave no reason and he was forced to live with his parents at the age of 27.
âI felt like I was losing _everything. I was desperate and powerless,â he says.
âIt became an obsession to get her back. Iâm not proud of it but that was why I felt the need to text her and call her so much. I didnât realise it was threatening.â
But Thomasâs behaviour escalated until he convinced himself his wife had been seeing someone else and was desperate to find out who.
âIt was a spur-of-the-moment thing and not something I am proud of at all but I put a recording device by her
bedroom door one day when I went round to see the kids.
