Some victims also explained that their stalkers’ primary motivation was their desire to re-establish the relationship and that they used stalking as a method of constant pressure or as one participant insightfully perceived as a form of mental torture to overcome victims’ resistance and coerce them to give in and return back to them. The following extracts reflect these themes of pressure and mental torture:Initially was that he wanted me back (…) and I did give in after about six weeks (…) it’s been the pressure of it (…) you know God I defy anyone to put up with that, to try to live a normal life, go to work with this constant, constant ringing, looking at the window in work he was there, going home he was outside there, he’d go to my parents he was there, afraid when my parents went out in case he did carry out the threats to them, afraid to turn up about friends (…) you know having to look over their shoulders if they were with me all the time (…) I don’t know why I thought that would make it better, just desperation I think. (Participant 01)
