How to deal with ongoing bullying from ex & new girlfriend?

[Lalala]

I'm sorry this is to long, but there is a lot of important details. I promise to try my best to use proper spelling and grammar, and to not make it boring!

Here is a brief background...
My daughter's dad bailed out over 2 years ago when he started dating his new girlfriend. We broke up because of domestic violence, which he was arrested and convicted of and spent jail time over. He canceled a month of joint custody, didn't show up to custody court, lost all custody rights, and has made no effort whatsoever to come back into his kid life. He hasn't paid a penny of court-ordered child support EVER (which is only $71 a month). He has a total of 3 kids by 3 women, two of them which are only 3 weeks apart due to him being unfaithful.

Fast forward two years...
I have graduated from college and currently work two jobs just to make ends meet. I'm putting in over 60 hours a week working with troubled kids living in a foster home. I have a decent car, my own place, get my bills paid, and fully support my daughter including paying for daycare costs. My daughter is very healthy, happy, and well-adjusted. She has no memories of her dad since she was only 1-years-old when he left. I'm still single mostly due to the fact that I've focused on school, parenting, and establishing a career instead of trying to find a boyfriend. I've had a lot on my plate and dating just isn't in the books for me right now.

He, on the other hand, has two warrants out for his arrest, his license suspended, probation violated, and has not been able to hold down a single job the past 2 years. He moved on the other side of the country in June for reasons unknown. He is still with the same girlfriend, who doesn't seem to be doing much better then he is.

My current problem...
After 2 years of silence they've decided to come forward via social media and bully me left and right. I can't see their Facebook because I'm blocked, but my friends and family can and they've reported back to me the nastiest posts ever. They claim that I'm a "welfare whore", all I want from them is their money, that I deny my daughter love and happiness, and that I kicked him out of her life (they don't want to admit that he walked away from her). They claim that I cheated and sleep around with everyone and I'm just looking for my next "baby daddy". They say that all I want from him is his money because I can't do anything on my own.

My friends reported the posts as abuse and they were removed from Facebook for harassment, but she keeps putting up new ones and will mention my full name in the posts. They will go on these long hate-speech rampages about me and try to make me sound like a horrible mother. Yet, he still doesn't try to reunite with his daughter or do anything for her! He acts like he is dad of the year, and that I'm just trash.

I'm trying not to let their bullying get to me... but it's hard! I work my butt off for my daughter and this is how I get treated. Any advice?

Ask your friends to keep reporting it but not to tell you what is being said. Also request them to take screen shots of it because if it keeps up you can take them to court and get protection order that will land them both in bog big bog trouble if they keep doing it. But you'll need proof its about you so ones with your name are the best to get.
