I went to the police station earlier today and filed an incident report. He'll probably be charged with stalking or aggravated stalking. I feel really good. I feel empowered.
Why is it so hard to reach out and ask for help? Why do I allow myself to be overcome by feelings of shame and embarassment? It's not my fault that my ex has substance abuse and mental health issues. Its this sense of SHAME that keeps people stuck...keeps them isolated. It's just so hard to understand where that comes from and why its so powerful.
Anyway, I feel good. Thanks everyone for your support and encouragement.
