Sufferer If Only They Would Listen

[Blackheart13]

I went to the police today to try to file charges against my former boss that sexually harassed/assaulted me for 2 years after 2 years of grooming. The worst assault in Oct 2014 finally made me quit. I was always afraid to quit because 1. I knew I wouldn't be believed 2. I have 3 children and desperately needed a paycheck and last but certainly not least 3. He's a dr and was using that status to obtain oxycodone which he made sure I was very addicted to. I have been silent for 8 months up until 2 days ago. I'm so tired of nightmares, random flashbacks, racing heart....and the rage that burns inside me scares my whole family, especially my 5 year old. He can't understand why mommy used to sweet and loving now she's a psychotic raging nutjob. My former employer has ruined my life. I finally was able to try to make a stand....the police tho were rude and quickly let me know HIS opinion of what happened to me. He was not very helpful, supportive or even kind...so I'll go back to my safe isolation and keep daydreaming of a time possibly in the future I return to the person I used to be . Best wishes

Blackheart, I have been a member of this forum for a while and recommend to so many people. I know you will find so much helpful information on coping and just knowing that others know exactly how you feel when you experience symptoms can be comforting. Welcome!!

That makes me angry for you. I hate hate HATE victim blaming. I think you were very brave to press charges against him; good for you! That is standing up for yourself. It's good you don't have to be around your former boss anymore.

Do you have any supportive persons in your life such as a significant other, friends, or a therapist? Therapy has helped tremendously for me though the healing process is very very slow. My supporters don't understand what I have been through or how I am feeling but they know when I am going through a rough period and are very supportive.

I understand how it is with small children. I have two children under 4. Being a parent is hard, being a parent with PTSD is sometimes unbearable. Hang in there.

@Blackheart13 Welcome to the forum!

Sorry to read about what you have been through and especially the dismissive attitude from the police. Dealing with addiction and PTSD is hard and I hope you have some counseling and support available to you.

This forum is a great source of information and support as you work to get your life back.
