He might think I still care about my abuser.Īm I supposed to not go into work the week that I know he’ll be in town? Do I warn my boss and coworkers?Ĭan you only get restraining orders for people who have physically abused you? He never hurt my body, only my mind. I don’t know what to tell my boyfriend because I think he’d be upset if he knew I was checking up on him.
#CLANDESTINY NOW HOW TO#
Emotional abusers know how to manipulate their victims, and I refuse to be a victim any longer. I know he just wants to talk, but talking won’t solve anything. So it is possible that he can find me at my job, and I work in a public building where anyone can just walk right in. There’s no way he could know my current address, but I maintain professional websites for my work, so I can have a web presence and get jobs in the future. If I don’t see him post anything about me, it comforts me for a while until I start worrying again.īut a few weeks ago on instagram he posted a ticket confirmation for a flight to the city I live. So, occasionally I find his public social media pages to check up on him, and make sure he is still far away from me. I was brave enough to shut him out, to tell him I didn’t want to speak to him or see him, but I am still paranoid enough that he will want to see me again. He wanted me to act a certain way for him, he wanted me to buy things for him with my own money, and would get frustrated when I didn’t live up to his standards or play by his rules.The worst was him expecting me to answer the phone whenever he called, meaning I could hardly have a life of my own, and he would get jealous when I tried. We were in a long distance relationship, and the majority of communication was on the phone or Skype, but words can hold so much power over another person.

He emotionally abused me for about 3 years. I think my abuser is going to try to visit me.
