| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

Moey, I never did well at sugar-coating anything. That I am well known for.
1. Call the police. What you described would be more than likely considered by them as kiddie porn. Maybe I'm wrong about this. Only you and he know.
2. While he's in jail, pack and leave. And don't tell anyone but your own blood-family where you're going.
You owe it to yourself to keep yourself safe. And if YOU don't nip this now, it may get nipped later on by someone else, and if you have previous knowledge of his activity yet do nothing, you could face some liability to the matter. |

Moey you are not relieved because you are going through leaving someone you loved. That is hard, no matter the reasons. It hurts like hell. You have to go through a grieving process, for not only what you did lose in that relationship, but for losing your dreams for the future with that relationship. There is nothing wrong with you. Your going through a very emotional time.
Expecting yourself to be happy, relieved and let it all go is completely unreasonable. Give yourself time to be upset, to be hurt, to cry, be lonely etc.. You deserve that. Cut yourself some slack here...
Hang in there...

You know how it's often said that victims of abuse get into abusive situations to re-live them? I think that's bull. If someone has been victimized and helpless long enough, then the alarms will stop going off because most people can't live with the abuse, the helplessness, and the alarms going off at the same time.
I am convinced that many victims of abuse suffer recurring abuse because they don't hear the alarms that most people do. The world is not running low on predators, and it is easy for them to spot a victim and do a few quick tests to find out if they have easy prey.
Good job leaving the guy. FIND A WAY TO TURN YOUR ALARMS BACK ON!!! You might want to do some research on sociopathy, too. Once you understand it, you'll recognize the pig no matter what color of lipstick it's wearing. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
