Yes, make sure and continue to take care of yourself. Anxiety and hyper-vigilance can rob us of so much energy.

Yes, it would be great to stop him, if possible. Though I worry a bit that if I'm able to record him on video, and the police get involved, that it might just escalate again to something worse, like it did when I got a new phone number. (And, as I mentioned earlier, the security experts say this is a common pattern.--when you do something to block the harasser, it gets worse.)
Right now, my dad refuses to even talk to me about the break-ins; I think he thinks it's a all a delusion. Whenever I mention it, he doesn't say anything, so I stopped bringing it up. My older sister said she would talk to him about it, to assure him it's real, but she hasn't done this yet, and I am not holding my breath that she will ever do this. (She always promises to talk to dad about various things, and never does.)
I had talked to my T about having a family meeting about all this that would include my T, sister, mom, and dad, and she thought this was a good idea. But that never happened and I recently dropped her as my T.

I'm currently disabled because of PTSD and depression, so I can't work and get a little money from the government; but mostly, my father is supporting me financially now. Not being able to work is very painful for me. I would love to do as I wished (such as work) but unfortunately I'm too ill to do much of anything. I've pretty much been robbed me of my most of my life. (I've been in therapy for quite awhile, but that hasn't helped at all--in fact, I'm worse because of it. So I am going to try to find a new T. )
