A:
You should take immediate action to protect yourself and your property. Contact the police to report the break-in, theft, and vandalism. Provide them with all the evidence you have, including any messages, photos, or witnesses that can support your case.
Additionally, consider seeking a restraining order to keep your ex away from you and your home. This can provide legal protection and might prevent further incidents. Document all damages and losses for insurance claims and potential legal action.
Regarding the online slander and posting of personal information, report these actions to the platform where they were posted and consider consulting legal help to explore your options for defamation or invasion of privacy. Prioritize your safety and well-being while addressing these serious issues.
