I was in an abusive relationship, that was awful and he was very controlling, and i wanted to break up after a month, but he wouldn't let me, and I am now dating the nicest guy ever and when i told him about this he was very upset with the way I handled it (I only went to our College and had a non-contact placed (its like the schools version of a restraining order)). He is upset because my ex has not stopped threatening me and he feels like he cannot trust me because I put his safety in danger, and we broke up (which is understandable in this circumstance). But we will get back together if I solve this, and I am not sure how to bring this up to my parents, or tell them that I need professional help with dealing with my abuse ex.

If you have a "non contact" order in place, you have to contact the college and TELL them that he's contactiing you so that he can be prosecuted! Why did you have the order put in place in the first place if you're not going to use it? Why didn't you contact the college and tell them he's abusing you? What was the purpose of getting the non contact order?

You've got to do something about it. Aren't you in college anymore? If you're not, then get the POLICE to put a restraining order on him! And if he contact you after that, he'll be arrested! It's up to YOU do something about this. Your parents can't do anything right now. YOU have to do it. Go see the police & get a restraining order. And if he breaks it, then have him arrested.
Thanks for this!

I am going to agree with Leed here. This man who abused you is still creating difficulties in your life. He should not be causing stress in your relationships when he is already under a non-contact order. While it may be difficult, it is up to you to sever him from your life so you can move on and find the things you need to be happy. Be courageous, firm and resolved to make the message clear that he has no place in your life anymore. If that means involving law enforcement and initiating more intense legal proceedings then that's what needs to be done. He needs to get the hint and stay out of your life because there is no good reason EVER for abuse. Once he knows how serious you are he will move on. If he doesn't he will end up in jail. Either way, it will work out good for you but you have to make a stand.
