Re: been here before

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. It actually is making me cry that someone who doesn't even know me or my situation would care enough to take time and help me get through it a little better. I honestly would never have thought of myself in this situation. I am well educated and just never was a party girl. I just want to get back to normal. That's all I want. I am going to try your suggestions and I will pray that it works. Its been so long since I was attacked so how long does this feeling last. I was abducted from my job in November 2004 by an ex-boyfriend and he raped me. I thought once he went to jail it was over, but of course after a year he got out. All of the attorneys are there and the advocates are there once they are sentenced but no one is there once they get out. I moved across country to get away from my problems but now I found out he is living in a bordering state that I moved to.He could take a train and be at my door step in an hour. I don't know if he actually knows where I live, but he is a little too close for me to feel comfortable. I think what makes me so angry is the fact that I was not informed about his release or anything I just got an e-mail from an old friend suggesting I check the sex offender registry and it pulled his name up and since then I went into this sheltered mode. I don't like depression and I want my life back. That's all I want.
