My boyfriend is blackmailing me
2 years ago
My boyfriend is blackmailing me that he will post my pictures by creating another account in instagram and threatning me that he will kill me if I don't marry him. Things are going very bad. I told my parents about the blackmail and they spoke with his parents and things got more weird. He's threatening me everyday and I don't want my parents to involve again and I can't see them suffering more. Can someone give me advice on this issue Please?

You need to be very careful in such situations and ensure that you have total safety around yourself. Keep your parents and relatives informed about it so that they can help you in case of need. If he does not stop the blackmail then lodge a complain with the local police station.
