Child hood abuser, contacted me.

Child hood abuser, contacted me.

I’m not sure if anyone can help or if I’m even asking for help, I’m not quite sure, all I know is my head is exploding. Please I beg do not ask me to see a counsellor, I honestly want to avoid it.
When I was little, my mums boyfriend at the time mooested me, for 3 years, 2 others were also molested, eventually, one spoke out, it all came out. He was convicted and sentenced to jail for approximately 3 years. He had 3 children of his own prior to this. Fast forward just over a decade, I have 3 kids of my own, and created a life, I don’t think a day has past where I haven’t thought about it, but I let myself learn from it, rather then have it define me. I’m the only one of the three assaulted who have children.
Fast forward to a few days ago, I received a message on Facebook, from him. He found me, he messaged me. It was like that second I clicked into my messages, my whole world caught fire. How can someone who had so much control of me, who took my childhood, who took my innocence and who shaped me to be someone who will never trust, nor let my children trust a perfect stranger, now over a decade later, have this much control of me still. I thought he wasn’t aloud to contact me. But apparently, you can molest 3 little girls, get sentenced, serve your sentence and come out at the other end and not be put on a sex offenders list! Not on the child protection registry, nothing. But the known alcoholic down the street was wasted and pissed on a tree next to a primary school and is on the list. A family member (although I don’t condone it) is going to die in prison for growing some pot, but this guy takes so much, changed my life and my outlook on life and the way I raise my children to be aware of things, goes to jail for 3 years and then gets let off Scott free! Where is the justice! Nothing put in place to make it illegal for him to contact me. I was also the only one of us 3 to be contacted, I feel it may be to put more fear in me as i am the only one with children. I can’t get into my car without inspecting it first, I think Ive now started to check on my kids 12 times each through the night, made my partner hook the surveillance cameras up to our bedroom tv so I can see them all night. I’m a god damn adult now, what the fuck. He messages me consistently, for the last few days. You might think why don’t I block him!? Well I can’t, because one of his first messaged me he told me too and I refuse to give him anything he wants, asks or needs. I’m just ignoring him. Everyone keeps telling me to not let him get to me, not to let him in my head, but I don’t know how the hell to do that, I don’t know what to do.
I’ve called police etc and spoken with his parole officer and will be getting a restraining order out. But that doesn’t help what’s happening in my head.

OMG! That is disgusting. Where is our justice system??? Taking a fucking holiday or what because it surely can't be here. Please take this further! If it does not work name and shame the bastard! Put his face and your story all over facebook. How can he not be on the sex offenders list? This makes me so angry. Angry for you and for how people like this can just slip through and basically get off and then to come back and harrass you like this! Good on you for not blocking him lets hope all these messafes get him put back in jail if hes on parole. Disgusting.

You're asking for help sorting out your feelings but saying don't suggest the only thing that is clinically proven to help. Maybe talk to your GP.

I refuse to see one too, for some people they are not helpful. She's better off seeing a psych.

It's a psychologist she's refusing to see. Hence recommending a GP so she can talk further about why she is refusing and at least consider medication

I'm sure it says counselor...

But yeah doctor either way. OP if you end up in court over this it probably is better to start seeing a doctor and getting further help so you have proof of the damage his contact is causing.

Op, you need more than a restraining order.
I’d also limit all social media, no posting of kids, locations, check ins etc. and I would block him...but that’s just me.

Report him on Facebook as stalking you, then block and delete.

Why are you refusing to see a counselor?

Get the help you need. A psychologist would definitely be beneficial.
