So much has happened. My stepdaughter whom I will always love is in jail. I can't bail her out. First time in jail and I pray she will get through this and realize that she needs to keep those who still love close. To realize how she has badly treated her husband and I. That we still love but she has to choose us or her drug habit.
A member of my church, a U.S. Veteran (Special Forces) choked me and threatened to kill me. He left and I told my priest how he threatened to kill me. He pushed me to the point I let all my rage out and yelled at him. That's when he threatened me I let my priest know what happened .I told him I am considering filing a restraining order, but he let me know he would take care of it. I've haven't lost my anger like that for many years and now it seems since he goes to my church. I don't feel safe going there anymore. This is killing me My priest is a godfather to me. I love him as if he was my dad. Yet I will never feel safe at church if that guy is there. My anger is still in me knowing I can't go back to church. Even if my priest tells me it's safe, I have been violated and can't see that person or I may lose it.

Sorry that you are going through so much . I hope things get better and that you feel safe soon. I would consider a restraining order from that person that hurt and threatened you .

Thank you. It seems same man did almost the same thing, not as extreme, to another church member. My priest is supporting my decision in filing a restraining order. My priest told me that I am going through post traumatic stress disorder. I have this know along with B.P.D.. Never been this scared and angry in my life. God bless you.
