I have a question. Has anyone or does anyone live with an abuser. The person is someone who sexually abused me over ten years ago. They are no longer a threat but I suffer from PTSD and their presence has been making things really difficult for me. They just moved in a few months ago and I cant move out because I dont have a job and dont have anywhere to go. My life has become extremely stressful and I have become more and more depressed.

So I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar situation and what they did to help them cope?

i do i suffer from the same thing you do only my abuser cant physically hurt me anymore. she is my mom she mostley neglected me. i have no job or money. either my mom always blamed me when my sis died. cuz i had lukemia and survived why i survived and my sis didn't. my sis was the perfect child. she always hated me she sent me away cuz she hated me. she ignoring me isn't as much annoying now. she wants back into my life and wants me to act a certain way. sometimes i think my sis was lucky to die least she is free.

Yes, I had to live with my abuser for 11 years, but he abused me about 6 years ago, I'd always been scared of him, but even tually last year got kicked out of my home, through no fault of my own and so I'm away from him, even though I'm still scared when I see him.. My advice is to talk to someone who lives there with you, if anyone else.. and try getting a job asap.. or even find a friend to stay with for a few days, stay at a different friend's house twice a week or something, it could help calm you a bit.

Sorry if this is no help

I'm here to talk if you need me x

I had to live with my abuser for ten years following the first time......... from age 5 to age 12.

... and I was the one that got most of the hate and anger for the act - not him (step-father).

Needless to say - I left home at 15 years old.
