Family and Friends Forum

Hi all,

I need to rant as I'm finding it very difficult at the moment waiting for justice to be served on my ex! We are not married but were together for 8yrs and engaged.

My story is different to a lot of you as I haven't stayed with my ex as I couldn't forgive him for what he had done. Not only did he have IIOC but also took photos of my then 12yrs old daughter asleep showing her top half and the police found out that he has also distributed them!! (He's not her dad)

I'm so angry in the fact that for the last 2yrs he has been living his life like he hasn't got a care in the world, even walking past where my daughter works many times (she has seen him each time), even though he's been told by the police to stay away!! Unfortunately they can't enforce that until he is convicted so there's not a lot can they do to stop him.

At the beginning of all this He told me he was going to move away to be near his family as he literally has like 2 friends and no family here so has no reason to stay here. He lives around the corner from us so we see him occasionally and it's horrible!

My daughter has been having horrible nightmares about him and I think she has PTSD from it all! She's 21 now. She also said that he touched her breast when she was coming around from an epileptic seizure, although at the time she couldn't believe he would do that so didn't tell me.
Im just so angry and traumatised by it all!!!! I have never hated somebody so much in my life!

My daughter said she feels ready to go for counselling but she won't speak to anyone on the phone and we can't afford to go private. Does anyone know of any good places we can look into?? I have been given vitaminds (nhs) to try but not sure if they are face to face?

Rant over, I could go on and on but will leave it here for now lol

Thank you for reading and any suggestions will be gratefully received. XXXX
