      It’s a horrible feeling but just remember you will be so much better if you don’t. We’ve all been through it and we are thinking of you x

      Thank you for your kind reply. To be honest I don’t know many people at all. Just a friend that I chat to sometimes and my Mum. She is very old sadly.
      I wish I could meet people but I am a lot indoors due to my health. I enjoyed the job I had but I have not been able to work since I had Covid and then another illness was discovered. X

      Please do block yourself. I know its hard as he could get angry.
      When I blocked an abusive ex ringing me on the land-line, he started sending angry texts.
      But you have to do it.
      If you don’t block you can’t say to the Police you have tried to prevent contact. If he harasses you.

      I’m feeling quite nervous and my GP prescribed something for this. I’m feeling like I want us to move.
      The Police told me they are going to speak to the person. But I didn’t feel very reassured as they have to find them first.
      Having been abused and stalked and so on, it is horribly triggering.
      I don’t know for sure, but I have always thought there may be (detail removed by Moderator) with these neighbours. We moved to what we thought was a quiet peaceful place, but as soon as we got here I saw drug dealing. Those first people were evicted, but that was my first experience here, I did miss their cute cat though. I’ve lived in (detail removed by Moderator) areas but I was trying to get away from all that as I am ill.
      The people that have victimised me indulge in weird noisy sex and very loud cackling laughter which I also find triggering. (detail removed by Moderator)
      My last place I lived was so quiet but we can’t go back as it is shut down now. I so miss it. I’ve been homesick since we moved in. Even more now. We had such a lovely neighbour there, he was so kind. And hearing him in the garden was so very comforting.

      I’m panicking slightly today. Trying to do nice things though. Like paint.

      I found the Lundy Bancroft books covered most aspects of abusive behaviour. However, I read them after I had left a second abusive relationship. I didn’t think I was vulnerable and thought abusive Ness was rare.
      I’m in a good relationship now but I still study abusiveness as I am still hurt inside, of course.

      It is very unlikely and silly.
      I will probably watch it though.

      Once you get away you begin to realise. It is painful I know. I read the Lindy Bancroft books. But I did make a mistake again, because I was conditioned

      Thank you very much. The county DV people say there is not enough to take out a restraining order as ‘he has not done anything’. Great isn’t it?.
      So I just have to log everything. I wish I knew what his car was…it was a dark colour and I was coming to a roundabout one time.

      Feeling a bit crummy today. Just tired. I cannot believe he has started this again.
      Also why am I always getting stalked? Do I attract loonies? I am very reclusive and quiet. What the hell is wrong with people?

      Thank you for asking after me. I am okay, but feeling a bit rubbish. The Police think I should take out an injunction.He was very sympathetic but said as ‘he’ didn’t do much, that is probably my best bet.
      Mum said I appear vulnerable which didn’t help my brain much. I am actually quite old( getting very old really) , yes I am feminine but so what. I am also quite assertive these days.
      I have also informed my workplace not to let him into the building.I hope they do not make a big hoo haa and send me to HR something.

      I noted her daughter has thrown out all her mother’s clothes and would not attend the funeral,and am wondering if she feels let down too, and resents her mother,

      I am using earplugs and also I got a pink noise machine which cancels night noise. Its very good for my anxiety. Sometimes I just put it on as I like the whooshy sound.Its a bit better. She just seems noisy at the weekend mainly fingers crossed.

      I had two abusive relationships. One of them got very excited when he saw I was an empath. Like he did when he found out I had been abused.
      I am now fairly easily disgusted by people’s responses to anything personal relating to my rather unusual and even eccentric, true self, and don’t tell anyone much. there is something about me that can appear vulnerable. It is just I am quite open and honest, so I kill that for the most part.

      I very much doubt it. It’s a particular form of behaviour that seems very core to the abuser. They are addicted to it.
