Should I tell the world?

In 2018 I was in an abusive relationship the man strangled me almost to death and I reported him to the police he went to jail but he knew my weakness was how horrible of a mother I had as a child and knew I had no contact with her. After he abused me and was arrested he reached out to all of my friends and my dad and all of them told him to go to hell and blocked him but then he reached out to my mother and them 2 ganged up on me with other strangers I never even knew they ended up posting n*** photos and videos of me on Facebook from a fake account which I reported to the police and nothing was done about it he has harassed me on every social media platform even though I have a restraining order against him and I want to tell my story about what he did to me and what my mother did to me as a child and with my ex who almost killed me but I am scared to tell my story. Should I tell the world what they did? I feel like it would heal me and help me because I honestly walk around afraid of everything in my life and I just want to be free. I know they stalk me and I have blocked at least 50 accounts of them trying to get on my fb and tik tok. He has even stolen pictures of a close friend of mines fb and made an acct pretending to be my friend what should I do?

Help a mama out and respond anonymously on our forum. Should I tell the world?

I would tell, but tell the right people. Maybe a group therapy session with other DV survivors. Where you’re able to feel comfortable and they can relate to the situation you’ve been in. Telling the wrong people could completely backfire, there is a lot of evil in this world and I don’t want evil people making your situation even worse. Don’t allow anyone to insert their opinion about the situation, don’t open the door for that. Look for a group in your area and get support from people who can understand your situation. Don’t live to get revenge because it will only open the wound back up. Tell your story to get it off your heart, but only tell it to the people who deserve to hear it or who you feel deserve to have an opinion. People bring their problems to social media, which is not the best place to air it out. Protect your soul and your peace of mind and start moving forward without looking back at the people who didn’t deserve to stick around :yellow_heart:

I am so sorry you are going through this. No one, and I mean no one, should have to go threw it. Your mother is extremely toxic to you and your ex seems butt hurt. I mean why is he out to get you anyways. You left him, and yet he’s stalking and doing all this other shit to you, for what? You seem like you never did anything to them to deserve this treatment. They are wanting a reaction out of you. Don’t give them that satisfaction of one. I know it’s earlier said then done. Because they got other people involved.

Just report the n#%ds and go about your day. Don’t talk to them or anything. If other people want to believe them, let them, just block and ignore any that want to contribute to their low game. Your better then what they say to others. Keep your head high and show them you won’t allow yourself to stoop low to their level. I’m praying for you gal.

Make ur account private so they can’t look u up u fucking idiot problem solved I dunno why women are so retarded u wanna be seen so u don’t make it private then u don’t want fucked up people.stalking u but u put ur self there by allowing ot

I would avoid all social media and work on being around good people in real life.

As someone who is survivor of two domestic violence relationships if u feel safe enough to tell your story then u can tell whoever u want to tell. But don’t get revenge on them cause here’s the thing they’ll get their karma one day trust me it’s just a matter of time. I personally only tell my therapist what has happened and I still haven’t told her everything n it’s been 5 years for the first and 3 years for the second but I don’t even care what they’re doing or anything. I got my son I need to live for at this point

As for the leaked nudes there are laws against revenge porn plus he did that while you had an RO on him. Nope sic him girl

Delete all social media accounts. Sucks but no rules saying you have to have one. No account= no harassment or if you don’t want to get rid of them just make sure they are completely private and don’t accept any requests. You should definitely tell your story. Free yourself from the hurt and pain

Posting nude photos online without a release is revenge porn and rather illegal, but your bigger problem. Is you have 2 abusers desperate to not lose their favorite victim and you need to break that cycle immediately, you have no other priority

I would get off all social media accounts. Tell your story first if you feel you can and are safe but then get off all platforms. Or yeah make them all private and don’t accept anyone new on them. Focus on yourself and the people around you.

It really makes me sick how the laws/cops won’t fucking do anything about stuff like this.

If you’re comfortable with it join support groups on fb and share there first. Then Once you’re comfortable enough share it to your profile. After you post to your profile take some time from social media and just focus on yourself

Tell the right people. Someone else can probably better than I lead you. Delete anything you don’t want shared. Hopefully you know now don’t ever send naked photos… to anyone!! Not even a spouse as it obviously may end ugly. Make sure your settings are set to private or friends only. As for your mother… shes not a mother. Ditch the bitch!!

You don’t need to ‘tell the world’ what they did. Just as long as YOU know what they did then why waste time trying to convince people? I feel like you need counselling to learn how to deal with the trauma and move on in a healthy way.

Get off social media that’s best

You need to be reporting any harassment from them. When restraining orders are broke prove it and send them to jail. Tell your story in therapy . Then once healed write a book.

I’m so sorry you have been hurt so badly. Please get into counseling. They can help you move forward.

I know first hand how cops don’t enforce no contact orders. I recommend going to a domestic violence agency for counseling & advise. They have expirence dealing with all sorts of things. They may get you a lawyer to help you press charges too.

I wish you the best. This is horrible. You deserve so much better.

Set up another Facebook account that only you and your REAL friends recognize and refrain from posting pictures of yourself or anyone else. I know it sounds sad but do you really want to live a life of paranoia?? Sounds like your Mom and your ex are 2 viscous evil beings, they’ll get theirs.

I would delete all social media and go see a good Psychotherapist. They are trained better in this type of trauma. I had to see one for over a year and it helped so much talking with this type of therapist. I was also put into a “ group “ of other people (limited to only a small amount of people) and when we were comfortable we all got to tell our stories. And it helped hearing how others coped. It was very good information on how to try other things to help the PTSD, depression, and anxiety. The people were very supportive and would ask you questions and offered me advice. I would really suggest you talk to one, as I went through kinda the same thing (the strangling only no harassment ) and I’m still trying after 5 years to come back from this. It’s a very difficult one to move forward from on your own. Contact your insurance company and ask for a list of good psychotherapist in your area. It helps so much, start the process immediately. You deserve to be able to move forward from this. It’s not easy but it really does help. And turn over any and all evidence to the courts (the different accounts and take screenshots for proof) he should be in jail for breaking the no contact order. Good luck in whatever you choose to do from here. You absolutely have the right to have your voice heard but I would start in a very controlled group (therapy) and let the therapist help you break out of your shell the correct way, so you don’t suffer more psychologically and have the tools to voice what to say to people as well when they come at you and say “oh well your fine” cause I can tell you from experience We are not fine!!! It was very traumatic and they will help you voice it in a way that matters. Much love to you…

Come off social media and move away then get help with counselling change your name x

I would delete all social media… also im so sorry that your mother could even play a part in this. She is meant to be a protector, sending love :heart:.
