Made anonymous complaint about abusive ex

[ILoveLife]

So this was difficult but it had to be done. He's a predator of minors and I couldn't in good conscience keep this to my self. Everyone is afraid of him and so am I but in honesty I think I'm safe enough now and strong enough to be able to confront this guilt.
It's a tricky situation and it involves a lot of my family and old friends too. I'm still close with that part of the family but I'm no longer close to those other folks I used to think were friends.
Plus I've been in a bad shape since this pandemic started and I needed to feel strong again.
I feel I needed some relief in conscience for protecting this person for so long while hating and fearing him.
I have no support I can only rely on the police good judgment and law on anonymous tips.

I'm ok though just sad and depressed all the time stuck at home.
Anxiety is through the roof but I'm not having suicidal ideation or psychotic symptoms. Mild flashbacks on occasion, but nothing strong.

I want to be someone I'm proud of.

You should be proud! Well done. You are very brave to tackle that while everything else is going on.

Did the officers give you any information? What to expect down the road? A follow-up?

Seriously, well done @Sietz!! Amazing!! ?❤

 

[somerandomguy]

Agreed - well done.

 

[Teasel]

You've done a good thing :)

Thanks everyone.

@LuckiLee it was an anonymous complaint online, since I'm not the victim in this case all I could do is tell the police about it, in case to remain anonymous and safe I didn't identify myself. So supposedly there will be an investigation somewhere in the future, near or far.

Really brave of you. Well done.
Hope it gives you some peace of mind.

Thanx, @Sietz for doing this. I never had the chance to report on mine, he was dead or dying when I could have.
