Dear Emma:

Is there someplace that feels safe for you that you can stay in at this time, a place where you feel safe and comfortable?

You wrote that you were in a relationship with a man who abused you from the day you first met. A few weeks ago he raped you, and as you typed the post above, your wrist was hurting, as a result of that rape. You are no longer in a relationship with this man but he comes by where you live and stalks you.

I would like to understand better:

You mentioned the fact that your ex boyfriend is a police officer, in the title of your thread and in the thread. What does it mean to you, him being a police officer, what makes it significant to you?

In the paragraph starting with “If you’re the person who suggested this to me…”, you mean the professional you mentioned at the beginning of your post, correct? If so, are you not in contact with him (or her), not in counseling or the like with that person?
