This mentions rape and recent current events.

I was raped as a teen, then as a young adult I was in a relationship that was sexually and emotionally abusive. The abusive relationship turned into stalking, threatening, and showing up at my door and demanding entry when things ended.

Thanks to recent events in the US, I've been reliving what happened to me frequently. Someone on here told me to just move on, but that can't happen right now or possibly ever because I went through abuse that made me afraid for my life.

When I was going through the abuse, he alienated me from my family because I have a very protective father. Now 5 years later, I am debating on telling my dad because it is so important to me that he doesn't vote for a Senate candidate that was okay with rape. I feel as though by doing that, my father who loves me and supports me in every other aspect of my life will be saying that it was okay that my ex raped me multiple times. It will never be okay that it happened, and I still live in fear because he still asks around about me, and will try to subtly intimidate me at events that we both happen to attend. I live my nightmare almost every day.
