MyPTSD Pro
In the US, the system treats the victim horribly. My abuser has violated the restraining order countless times. Most recently he had a "friend" of his drop off a letter addressed to me. My adult son answered the door and this "friend" threatened my son and us and by the time I made it down the stairs, they were standing toe to toe and this guy was in my son's face screaming at him. My abuser admits to sending the friend and letter. The police sent it to the DA, but I've never heard back. I've left messages with the police detective, but... nothing.
My abuser is my now (Thank God) ex-husband. He's a retired LAPD officer, and the police won't arrest him, and they always 'take his side.' The courts have not helped me. I have no other resources and I continue to suffer stalking and verbal/emotional abuse. It sucks. I can't disclose the really bad stuff because it's not safe to do so.
People don't get it. IF I say anything, which I've stopped doing, people just shake their heads in disbelief and say something like, "He's still bugging you, even after all this time."
