Familiar Stalkers

Familiar stalkers are typically those with whom you have had some sort of intimate relationship. Often portrayed as the “ex” who can’t let go, these people stalk as a way to maintain control over the victim. The most recognized of the familiar stalker is the dejected ex-partner, however with increasing frequency other family members, friends, adopted children, biological parents (who gave their children up for adoption), ex-friends and “poor relations” are becoming familiar stalkers.
