Re: Sociopath beat me and I had to go to the ER

Bruised, I'm so sorry that you've experienced this. 

I would like to suggest that you take advantage of every service available through "Victims' Services."  If the police were involved, he will face criminal charges that have nothing to do with you. 

I would also strongly urge you to file for a restraining order and POA (Protection Of Abuse).  You can do this through the civil court and an advocate from Victims' Services will help you through the entire process, from filing and everything else. 

Lastly, I would encourage you get involved in counseling, ASAP - strictly with a specialist that deals with abuse, domestic violence, PTSD, and anxiety.  There will be peer counseling available, and that's up to you, just as professional counseling will be. 

You didn't do anything to deserve this, Bruised.  Please, change your CZ ID name because being bruised is temporary - you will survive, recover, and heal from these dreadful experiences just as I did.  "SoulfulSurvivor" isn't just a silly name that I chose.

Brightest blessings of healing, comfort, and courage to you.
