I really don't know where to start, my name is Danielle, and I very recently was victimized, I became, well more precisely was a compliant victim to a dysfunctional family, but became a compliant victim to a sexual sadist.

I have been forced by situations, after leaving my abuser, to overcome major obstacles which include an abusive shelter, ( they are now under investigation by the state victims of crime unit, and most likely will be shut-down) From the shelter I was homeless for about a month.

Aall of this started in late august of last year. My parents took guardianship of my daughter before I moved in with my abuser. I was forced to sign the paperwork on her 3rd birthday in late November. My parents have told me they knew he was abusive but said nothing to me. I'm just not sure where else to turn. I have found the strength enough to go back and attempt to press charges on my abuser. I have come this far in 2 months time. I left my abuser on April 4th.

I have had to voluntarily place my self in a psychiatric institute, due to stress and confusion as to how abusive he really was. I am still scared to death that he may find me or do this to some one who wont know until its too late.

I have very good reason to believe his whole family was helping him. I have contacted his previous victim via facebook. She was his close friend of many years and she agreed that she thought he was abusive. Now she wont talk to me.

I am terrified that he is progressing, and what is more scary is that everything listed about becoming a compliant victim, is exactly what I went through, my so called friends have abandoned me claiming it was my fault for not talking to them or getting out sooner.

I just don't know how much more I can take. I am back to being isolated at my parents house, they finally said I could return home when I had nowhere to go from the psych ward. They are not helping me to find a place of my own, or help me find therapy.
 
Hi Danielle,

Welcome to the forum. I hope you find the help and support you need here.

If your parents aren't helping you find therapy then do it for yourself. Maybe easier said than done. But sometimes the only way to begin recovery is to be pro-active for ourselves, and not rely on others to do things for us.

All the best

Wecome to the forum! It sounds like you have a full plate. You are very strong and I am amazed at your determination. I want to tell you you have to always believe in yourself and trust yourself no matter what.
You are on a healing journey. You are coming out of hiding.

Keep us posted ok ? Cheers,. Ron.
 
Thank you, for all the good thoughts. At this moment though I'm sick and tired tired of most of my former friends telling the abuse was my fault. I know better but it still makes me wonder was I wrong about the abuse. I made my statement to the police today, for sexual assult, and if the county does nothing I have plans to take it to the state attorney
 
It's a crazy world. I know a woman that pressed charges in Oakland and nothing happened. So she went across city lines to Berkley and they promptly arrested the guy as son as he crossed the city lines. Go figure and good luck.
