I was just reading the paper and it had an article to find out about sex offenders on the Megan's Law website. My ex bf is one, unfortunately I had to find out first hand about it. I was ready to see his name and where he was living, but not a pic of him. Why did I have to look this crap up? It only revictimizes me. Is that what I want? No it's not...but I had to see, I had to know. What is wrong with me anyways? Now his face is gonna be etched in my mind for a while. I hate this. I didn't have to look, but i did...regretfully. I don't know what I'm doing anymore.

I don't think that there's anything too wrong w/wanting to be assured that a criminal is recognized/on record as being a danger. So many offenders never register and continue to victimize...I think you're brave to have checked him out...but i'm sorry that you had to go through so much pain in the process.

lexi,
i'm sorry you've been so triggered. that's one thing about PTSD. a person gets extremely upset when triggered by a person or thing. however, at the same time they NEED to know of a person's where about's, if he's been caught, etc. it's a deep need to know that the person is no where near or close and/or is being watched by police, etc. i can understand. my brother (the main abuser) lives just 15 mins away from me. and even though it's very triggering to hear of him, there's a need to know what he's doing so i can try to predict his frame of mind, etc. it's a very difficult position to be in...can't win for losing sorta thing. ((((((((( lexi ))))))))) i hope you're able to get that picture out of your mind soon, and find solace in knowing that ppls what what he is... be safe, dear. sending peaceful wishes your way, kd

(((((((((Lexicon)))))))))) Doesn't sound like anything is wrong with you. Just sounds like it hurts to be reminded of those things. Take care of yourself!
