Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
So the civil stipulatoin I spend $4,000 in legal fees is a joke. I saw him twice this week in MY gated neighborhood on his bike. Then he LIES and accuses to trying to have contact with me. I got a threatening letter from his attorney, delivered by a process server, threatening ME! This is Hell! Why won't he leave me alone. My attorney said to "do nothing". I know this man is a lying, manipulative #%* who will do anything to destroy me. HELP!!!!!! What can I do???? I am moving out of my house for the next two months. I am a prisoner in my house. I can't even ride my bike. The site of him scares me. I have had ZERO contact with him. The legal system is a joke.
Oh... and... my sister tried to kill herself Sunday... I"m the one who has to "be there for her" as always, my best friend who has been in a coma for a month is being removed from life support and will be dead in two weeks (and I have to go say goodbye to her tomorrow), and after six interviews (with one company) I wasn't offered a job.... can't take anymore.

I would suggest do everything you can to not accept any more contact with the Ex than you have to. Move out, and if you get a phone call let the answering machine get it. If they send you a letter send it unopened to your attorney. Do whatever you have to do to protect yourself from any more overstimulation.
As to your sister, love her obviously but also understand you are limited as to how much you can deal with at once. As for your friend, how incredibly sad.
You can't afford to crash and burn, but on the positive side, people can handle so much more than they think they can. Some day this will be over. Breathe and accept support. So many nice ladies here care.
Hugs, Karen
