I saw my stepdad and now I’m slowly recovering from a massive panic attack. My chest hurts my gut is upside down. As much as I hate change I should move far away so I never have to see anyone ever again.

They say not to run from your problems but some things you just run from, bears, venemous snakes, human monsters. Sometimes change is for the better. I would move if I felt that way whenever I saw someone.
You have to do what is going to help you.
I tried to run 5 states away from what happened to me as a kid. Called the suicide hotline and tried to figure myself out. Running doesn’t help. The actual act of running for mental health does. If the statute of limitations is not reached you can still make sure they don’t hurt anyone else. I waited 13 years to tell someone. Don’t make the same mistake I did. Have hope, EMDR is proven to help 80% of patients who undergo this therapy. I’m scheduled to start Monday and was just put on lexapro for my ptsd. I hope that you are okay. There is hope and When it’s most impossible to have hope, is when many start to see that pain doesn’t have to be forever.
im not running away from what happened im removing myself from the stress. theres a very big difference
I support this
Yes the best thing to do is to move out and live on your own or a relative.
When I was a kid, I lived with my dad for a short while and learned he’s a psycho and a control-freak, so I moved back with my mother. I’m also glad they divorced.
If you can report your stepfather to the cops, that’d be a good idea. People like him deserve to be punished for the harm they do to others.
I live with my husband I moved out… 6 years ago next month I think. But relationships seem stressful so I’m thinking about just getting him set up in this new place then moving out on my own and being a loner. This people thing is just too much.
As far as reporting him, (also in reference to EmbalmedHearts comment) we do not have a statute of limitations depending on the crime. Small petty ones have it I think but as far as major crimes not really if I remember right. Anyway lack of limitations or not aside from my mental damage I don’t have any proof however if he or she ever talks to me again I will be getting a restraining order.
