Ex Husband (divorced since 2001)

...See more So last week out of the blue my ex husband contacts me out of the blue. It's been 20 years since our divorce and 12 since the last time I ever spoke to him. He has remarried recently and I guess he is looking to get married through the Catholic church. The problem is that he and I were married through the church and it only recognizes our marriage. I have since left Catholicism, and he is asking to assist in the matter of annulling our marriage through the church. I have no idea why it brought up all these feelings of anxiety and panic. I think I might even be a bit angry and sad. Which is crazy because we left the relationship so long ago. I had a hard time accepting the initial divorce but moved on after. I guess I'm just thinking about how it feels like he is trying to invalidate that our marriage was even legitimate. I feel like I don't have a valid reason to feel this way....it just feels very odd and confused. Like umm....you don't even want him. Ugh I feel crazy

Stalked and abused

...See more I was in an abusive relationship about 6 years ago. It was mostly psychological abuse but it did culminate into physical abuse one night. I am still haunted by the memories of that night he almost killed me. To make things worse he stalked me for almost 2 years despite having a restraining order. I never felt protected by the authorities when I would tell them how fearful I was for me and my children when he would contact me. They would just tell me to get over it, he would eventually go away. I am in a different relationship now and I still feel so hypervigilant about EVERYTHING. My ex mostly got a hold of me through various social media platforms using different profiles and threatening me. I try to stay off as much as I can but now I am going through this insanity of looking up his aliases and making sure I stay one step ahead and block accounts he has created. I haven't heard from him in three years, but I go through this still. UGH...just wish I could "Just get over it" 😔
