Trauma

In final stages of divorce court. I left due to domestic violence. Highly anxious and unsteady. He has had various orders from police/courts. 
I am seeing therapist at this time. 
I have found courts unsafe, totally unaware of impacts of domestic violence. I had to relocate/flee in car. He has since found me again and fear him locating me during this. There has been more than one move of houses due to this - I do not want another. 

This has put serious strain upon finances, my time and work.

Dear Flowerbell~

Welcome here to hte Forum. I'm more than sorry you find oyurself in this predicament, it is truly horrible.

 

If you look around you will find others in the same situation and how they coped. Sadly divorce is not the end of the relationship, if the other party wishes to make things difficult they seem to be able to do so, and courts often do not have any understanding of what really happens.

 

It can be very expensive and still leave one with a feeling of powerlessness.

 

I'm sure by now you will have been in contact wiht 1800RESPECT who deal in matters of abuse. They may be able to asst you find support in your new location.

 

In the meantime is there anyone you can stay with and whom you cna lean on? Dealing with all this by yourself is extra hard.
