Good morning,
A little context, September 21st, 2005 and I was only ten years old. My best friend and I were alone at the bus stop when a man tried to lure us into his car using multiple method of coersion. He was arrested later that day due to me being really well trained for that situation and remember detailed including license plates. I am now 28 and the same man who tried to kidnap is friends with someone I know on FB. Now, I did do my detailed stalking (thankfully everything was public) and the second I showed my mom his face (she met him face to face during court), she knew. We are 100% sure it is him. I recently discovered the laws on level one sex offenders and found out he might not even have to tell anyone of these charges anymore. Including his new wife and step daughter who seems to be around the age of ten. Now, im aware I hurt myself when stalking his Facebook but now im stuck with so many emotions and I don't know what to do. I am currently not in counseling as I have been trying to find a new one and the last lady I went to discredited my previous diagnosis and said "its pretty rare to develop PTSD without being active duty". As a psychology major, im aware how wrong and unethical that was but as the anxious and hurt human I still am; I now feel even more discouraged to get help but now I know I need it. What are ways I can help myself get over this. Clearly I can't change anything about the situation but now a part of me wants to expose the guy and tell him wife. A part of me knows, nobody would believe me even with proof or even care. I wish I could talk to my friend who went through it with me but she recently passed away.
