      Hi

      Sorry it’s been a while, letting things sink in a bit.

      So I reported him to the police, I told them I didn’t want any action taken, it’s too long ago but I wanted it recorded in case anyone else has issues with him. Honestly quite disappointed with the police. I just got a text after my initial call to say it’s recorded and closed, I’d prepared myself for more questions and being asked for more details. But I guess at least it’s noted now.

      I’ve also spoken to my GP who referred me to a local charity and I had my first support session with them yesterday. I’m remembering this I’ve shut away and ignored for so long and it hurts and today I’m quite honestly just feeling like a good cry under a blanket. I’m hoping this is the beginning of the end and I’ll finally be able to accept and deal with the mental torture and stalking and put it all behind me

      Thank you so much. I’m now doubting myself, was it really that bad? Why am I doing it when it was so long ago? I will stay strong and see it through. My husband agreed it was the right thing to do and maybe it will help me put it all behind me.

      Thank you. Taken the first step today and have called the police to report him. I just can’t live with the possibility of reading a news report of it happening to someone else and him being involved and me having done nothing about it. Feeling an absolute rollercoaster of emotions right now, shaking like a leaf but hoping this is the start of me being able to move on

      Thank you so much. I will look into reporting him, but afraid of it, I don’t want him back in my life or to know anything about my life or where I live I now.

      I’m sorry you’re having those feelings as well, it’s awful.

      Hi

      Thank you for your reply.

      It hadn’t even occurred to me to report it now, I have no evidence, none of the messages etc so don’t feel like I would be taken seriously, especially as it’s a lot of years later.

      I believe the reason I’ve struggled lately is due to lockdown and things being out of my control and in the hands of the government, not being able to leave my home is bringing back memories of not leaving my home for fear of him being sat round the corner waiting for me or going out and being followed.

      I’ve had a lot of various therapies like cbt but nothing focused on trauma so I will look into that thank you.

      Thank you for your advise x
