Not sure what to do or think anymore??

Not sure what to do or think anymore??

Hi, I have just joined this site after speaking with my social worker today at a very low point in my life for the last year and a half. I recently left a very serious domestic voilent marriage (19 years), I have two children, and only one lives with me after I kicked my oldest out for also hitting me after I left my now ex husband. My ex was very abusive to where he would hit me, throw me up against walls, threaten me with knives and to cut my throat, rape me, and emotionally, physically and mentally control me to what I wore, how I had my hair cut and coloured and where I went and with who. Since leaving him a year and a half ago the controlling hasn't stopped, neither has the abusive text messages, but him hitting me has as I am no longer in his house for him to fully control me.I have had to learn to cope on my own and have been told by my physcoligist and phyciatrist that I have Clinical PTSD, Agraphobia, Aniexty, Depression, and suffer from not being able to leave my own home to complete my daily tasks as I am scared of running into him (he lives 10 - 15mins away). I am wanting to leave Brisbane and move up North to where I will feel safer then I do at present with living so close to him and him being able to spy on me and watch my house ... I am not sure where to go or who to turn to for advice, and because none of my family know the real reasoning why we parted and went out seperate ways I feel like I can't talk to them, because if they find out what my ex did to me and put me through for so long I am scared they will think negitive things about me.

Hi @TAB

We always want to hear if there's tech issues. It would be great if you could start a new thread in 'About the forums, including feedback and news' and tell us abit more about the problems you experienced.

Thanks 🙂

Hi @Former-Member and @TAB

May I ask for you to be mindful of which threads you're posting in. Your posts seem to be taking this discussion off topic and it can be confusing trying to follow the conversation. Thanks

@Mummytotwo I can see in our team email that there was an email sent to you about your post - let me know if you'd like me to resend.

Nik

Hi Nik, Yes please if you wouldn't mind, as I never received anything in regards to my post at all via email.

No worries - I have done that @Mummytotwo Hopefully it's not in your junkmail.

For so long I was mistreated and emotionally, physically, mentally, and sexually abused by him .. he use to tell me he owned me and if our marriage ever failed no one would want me so he'd make sure no one would ever have me. He never mistreated my children thankgod, but only me. I felt okay with that, as long as he left my kids alone I didn't mind getting abused as I knew they wouldn't be suffering by also being hurt by him. I understand the road is a long and complicated recovery and as much as I try and get out of bed in the mornings and do my best at parenting and do the best I can I always feel its never good enough for anyone and I feel like I am constantly being judged by everyone inc my friends who don't understand what I have been through.
