Stalked and abused
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" 😔
