Are there free legal aid consult resources in the state you were married in that battered women can access?

@joeylittle sure there are but I am no longer a resident there so I can't file there. I can't yet, file here because I haven't been here 6 months. Kind of a no man's land legally

I am just so, so sorry. Living in the world with terror is hard enough; having to actually figure out how to make the most commonsense things happen simply because there are 60, 70, 80 year-old laws still on the books...it's just not far. Sending you tons of support.

I think the priority has to be getting a new email address and phone number - and cancelling the old ones, not keeping them and checking them from time to time.

I know it's a lot of work to tell all your contacts. At the same time, I think it's essential so that he can't contact you. I also think it's an important psychological step to take. You'll be cutting off a way in which you've still been connected to him.
