I don't have anything to say that might make you feel better, except to say I'm sorry you're going through this and I hope you can hold on. We've had extreme violence in our family and I know how it can destroy safety. Again, I'm sorry. I don't know how I got through it, and it really devastated our family, but we finally got justice and that helped, but our family was never the same.
I didn't have therapy resources at the time, and I wish I did because this still haunts me, so please take advantage of what your T has to offer. I can relate to having a T (my psychiatrist in this case) who just doesn't do well on the phone, and I always have to wait to feel better.
As to the stalker, it boggles my mind when the police refuse to help in these situations. The whole point is that you're trying to prevent something from happening, and their view is that they can't protect you until something does happen. What???
You're facing a lot and it's natural to be triggered, but even understanding it sometimes doesn't fix it, right? You've been doing so well with your T so hang in there and demand support when you need it. You've earned it.
Otherwise, there's always Camp Comfort. We'll take care of you, listen to you and just sit with you or let you talk. Whatever you want. So post if it helps.
pls take care of yourself, you're really important to us here.
