Tell her to go ahead and give it to the cops and get it over with, that will call her bluff. Most likely she is all talk and no go and just trying to make your life miserable. If you said something you can get in trouble for, and I'd be surprised if you did, them you will just get things over with quicker as it is going to happen anyhow. The good thing you will have her off your back. Don't believe it is any of her business anyhow. As for him, call the police yourself and get a restraining order on him before he decides to do physical harm to you.

While none of us know exactly what you wrote in that letter but you, it has been a year since the writing of that letter and no harm has come to your ex-bf. If he or his mother are still harassing you and trying to hold this letter over your head, my suggestion to you would be to file a Restraining Order against BOTH of them. It's a simple process. Go to your local court house, you'll fill out a form and pay a small fee (around $15). You will be called in to see a Judge to explain your situation and the Judge more than likely will grant your request for a Restraining Order.
The Restraining Order will be good for one year from the date of being granted. Please also be advised that the stipulations in the Restraining Order will also apply to YOU. This means that if the Judge says there is to be NO CONTACT WHATSOEVER between the parties, this includes YOU not contacting your ex-bf or his mother. If you abide by those rules, you'll be OK. Should the other parties BREAK the rules of the Restraining Order, you can legally have them arrested by showing an Officer of the Law your copy of the Restraining Order. Hope this helps you out.
PS: You'll have to hire a Process Server to have the Restraining Order delivered into the hands of your ex and his Mom. (You can get a list of Process Servers from the Court.)

I agree with JS. Don't worry about it, there is nothing that you can write that is that bad, I mean if anything just say that you did not write it, I mean it was over a year ago, what kind of person keeps a hateful letter that long... You could get in trouble if you said that you were going to kill him but with that letter being that old and him not being dead, you are fine... go to your dean, file a restraining order against the guy if he doesn't leave you alone.

What exactly did you say? Did you threaten to kill someone? Chances are you probably won't get in trouble, but it also depends on exactly what you said. If he's your ex, why are you in contact with him at all? Is he stalking you? If he is, I'd go to the police first, and tell them everything, (including about the letter and how they're using it to harass and threaten you) and file a restraining order. If you tell the police about it first, then there's nothing they can do.

Depends on what you wrote. Did you threaten him? Say if he came near you you would hurt him physically? Kill him? It is a felony to call or write a threat to someone.
I don't get throwing pictures away---how would he know you are doing that? Are you still seeing this guy? You need to toss everything from him and move on. Ignore the mother. Sounds like a really screwed up situation.
MOVE ON.

Telling someone to "watch their back" is not a criminal code threat. It must be threats of bodily harm or death. It is not a threat to tell someone that there are people that want to fight him. It is a threat to say you will get people to beat him up.
Document everything about your encounters with him. Write down every time he follows you or speaks to you. He sounds very controlling, does his Mom want you to stay away from him? Your question is not clear on that point.
If he continues to harass you (or if his Mom does) call the police and tell them everything. They can warn both of them to leave you alone.

Don't you just LOVE mama's boy's and their freakishly obsessive mothers. LOL! First off, I have to agree with LT. Tell her to go ahead and turn the letter in to the police. You need to cut the puppet string she has on you. Trust me, you will feel a weight lifted off of you. As for getting into trouble, I don't think you need to worry. You have not harmed him in any way. My ex mom-in-law used to constantly threaten me all the time. I finally called her bluff when she called CPS on me. They came out and inspected my children and interviewed me. They found nothing. She, in the end, proved herself to be a lying, idiotic fool.

no you couldn't becuz you were just upset but if anything his mom could get in trouble for threating you so what you should do is like record everything she says to you and then write another nasty letter to him and makes sure she sees it and when she calls the police just pull the recorder out and she will be the one getting in trouble but if that was me i would have just whooped her wrinkled *** that nasty *****.

Did you threaten his life? You can get a restraining order against him. You cannot be held hostage like this. Call your local authorities and explain the situation, no name is needed, they will give you answers. The police is who you need to contact. Just ask them generalized questions. Also you could try the Assistant District Attorney.

Lol, if that is the worst that you wrote in that old letter then you have nothing to worry about. The cops might even laugh at his mom.
