From the moment I left him to the final divorce proceeding 2 years later he terrorized me. He kept saying he'd show up to murder someone I loved when I least expected it. I jumped every time a car drove by for years. Earlier this year I moved clear across the country without telling him. It was such a relief! But now the post office lost a child support check and I'm afraid they may have returned it to him with my forwarding address. I am stressed out all over again.

I left but I am still a prisoner of his control.
