Q: What about repeated text communications?
from paternal cousin who is going thru an alleged agreed mediated divorce with my maternal second cousin [aka “daughter”] - anything you can do about his narcissistic behavior besides ignore it? Yep. Wrap your head around that one. Lol
A:
you would want to consult an Oklahoma attorney, but my read would be 1) this is one divorcing person with another--let their attorneys handle it; if they have decided not to use attorneys, be aware that the person texted is getting free information, ammunition possibly. Why stop the flow. (In order to encourage what they want, rather than argue with the person--which just makes them feel they are powerful--why not just put a few ????? or "interesting" (without more).
But as far as an intentional tort case, I don't see it and many many states are very technical about infliction of emotional stress. Here, too, having the other person keep doing it may be useful.
If it's truly abusive the p.f.a. part of the domestic court options may be the way to go. But talk to an Oklahoma attorney.
