I know, exactly how you feel, about living in the same town. I'm 742yards away, from mine. Twice a week, a little closer than 100yards, through court order, to conduct drop off/pick up, of my children's visitation with him.
I still, get skittish, in my car, where assault transpired. I'm on edge, sometimes, at night, because after all, it really is just a piece of paper. I'll face him, in court a couple more times, before the restraining order hearing in August.
I'm worried about the effects, his visitation, has on the kids, who've been displaying effects, in school(another story, another thread). I reroute certain things, like where to go for coffee, gas, what time I go grocery shopping, things to avoid running into him. Which one time, I walked into the grocery store, from one direction, he from another, he eitger didn't see me, but made it into gut of store before me, I slipped right back out the way I came in.
I carry my xanax with me, at all times, because I never know, when my anxiety will occur. .
Just know, you aren't alone
