I'm scared for my safety

Dear @Former-Member

I am so sorry this has happened. That is so horrible. She may not actually realise how bad it is (and WAS ) for you, but you need to do what is right for you. It would be very triggering. I was getting triggered in sympathy for you, just reading your post.

Yes put space between you and seek out your established supports. I am not sure if you have treating team?

Take Care Bella

@Former-Member My first instinct is to run but rationally that would be wrong and would play into his hands. Stay put near support networks. Time to get as much legal advice as soon as possible. We are here for you BabyDragon. xxxx

Thanks @Appleblossom and @Bunniekins,

It is triggering and stressful and I do just want to run away.

So far all legal advice has been there is nothing they can do because she hasn't done anything wrong.

I just don't know what to do i finally get the paperwork through so I don't get called to any more parole change hearings. I cant cope dealing with that part of my life anymore and keep stable enough to care for a child.

Why does this keep coming back in my life. I had a complete ptsd breakdown I'm struggling to keep together.

Thanks @flipper,

I have a family lawyer who has been working with my family in relation to issues with my MC since he was released.

He has given me legal advice but it still has me worried that they cant do anything about her contacting me

@Former-Member You are a level headed young woman who is a fantastic mother and person to boot. We will be here for you through thick and thin BabyDragon. My pea senses do not like this one single bit do not trust this woman is my advice.

Is she continuing to contact you, when you have expressly asked her/him/them, not to contact you? Was it the first time she asked if you wanted to meet the child? Maybe it could even be grounds for intervention order. Are you totally sure they cannot . Given the family history ... it maybe unusual, but I think legal principles ought apply ... if you have expressly requested ...NO contact with her Sorry about questions.
