If you've tried blocking the address and it doesn't work, contact your email provider and alert them of the problem and the email address and hopefully they'll be able to help.
If it's really serious, keep all the emails and go to the police. They should be able to help.

Oh yuck, how horrible for you.
I think you should keep a copy of those abusive e-mails and pass these on to the police. This person is clearly harassing you and your family and by the sound of it has a serious problem.
I would quietly get another e-mail address and use that, and only give it to people you trust with the explicit instructions that they check with you before passing it on to anyone else, and that they use the BCC if they are sending out copies of mails to anyone with your e-mail address on it.
But definitely go to the police about this. I mean, your children are reading this stuff ...

If you change your e-mail address you will miss many important things like meassages only if it is very important to you but if it is not change it. But allowing your children to read mails is not worth because some day one of these stupid people might get your e-mail Id and mail you one useless mail that might bring problem in your married life when your children reads it but if it is for you alone you can easily ignore it and mark it as spam. If you are sure you have blocked the person there is no way that person can send anything to because yahoo will not allow that. Just make sure you mark that mail as spam or u go to the mail options and select block mails and enter that person's e-mail Id there and click block.

Change your email address by setting up a new account. Let all your friends know, and make sure the person you don't want to get emails from doesn't learn the new address.

This person clearly has a problem, and for that reason I suggest you secretly set up another e-mail address. Only give that address to people you trust and tell them to keep it private.
Leave the old address active. As long as that person thinks they are getting to you that way they are less likely to try to phone or visit! Fool them into thinking you haven't done anything about it.
But if you delete that address they'l hassle people for your new one and the whole thing will escalate.
Good luck!

Keep your old one and view it only when children are not around if they know the past word change it so this way if you have given e-mail to people that you can't remember you can stay in touch. then open a new account with yahoo or msn.

first off...dont let your children read your messages, you can also save conversations in your messenger, my advice is...print them, take them to the police, your children dont need to see this crap, your family member is disgusting, get yourself a new account, do not give this new address to anyone who knows this family member, you have to be able to trust them 100% before you give out your details.... this could harm your kids in the long term if they continue to see such filth, go to the cops and report it, this may stop the idiot from harrassing you....pfff some family member eh? good luck

Most people gave you very good advice, but I think Greg's response was the best in that he advised that you inform other people to make sure they don't pass on your new email address to the offender.
I hope you've got it sorted now.

Don't let your kids read your mail. There is no way to change it but you could simply stop using it, keep it for answers and set up another one that you can visit for personal and business mails so you can just ignore that person.

Close your old email address & create a new one. Tell only those friends/family you want to contact you, about your new email address.
Not too hard.
