The first wife's family has been sending me threats. How do I protect myself?

Threats to your safety are a serious matter to be dealt with promptly, not left alone for the sake of hiding family shame. If you feel threatened or in danger, call the police on 999 immediately, and keep all evidence of the threats, such as messages or recordings. For support and advice, Talian Kasih 15999 can help you. Tell your husband so that he takes responsibility for calming and restraining his family's side. Avoid answering threats with threats, because that makes things worse. Stay away from unsafe meetings. Legal protection is available if the threats continue. Your safety and your children's is the top priority. See domestic violence.
