A: You have 2 choices:

1) cut all connection to her. Change your email & phone number and get off social media. Perhaps also get an attorney to file a Restraining Order.

2) if you think it is a mental health/substance abuse issue, an attorney in her parish/county can do an interdiction/guardianship.
