I love that this topic is being addressed, but what I don't like is that the fact that men are stalked as well, wasn't addressed. I hear often enough that some woman has gone loco over a man just about as often as i hear vise verse. Yeah it gets violent, it's a power trip, the thought process is *you aren't going to leave me* or *you're mine*. That comes from the intimacy that is created in a domestic relationship. Some people just can't handle the rejection when it comes time to breaking it off, if there was ever an *on*. There's another type of stalker as well. The one who wants a relationship, but either hasn't had the courage to talk to or meet the object of their attentions. The victim in these cases doesn't have any idea for how long this person has been stalking making them more vulnerable to being a victim as well. The mentality of a stalker is a questionable one because *normal* people don't follow someone around all the time.
