Re:Re-awakened old worries...

Anyone had experience of threats from ex and worried they'd be carried out? Even years down the line? Don't want to go into much detail, but recent local events have really got me on the edge of my seat (and not sleeping again) over threats I received when I left stbx 2 years ago. Not sleeping, worried for kids and myself. Incident report made by police at the time; should I re-visit them or is there anywhere else I can go for advice and support?
Worried and angry because he's always going to be making me look over my shoulder

That sounds really awful. Sorry I cannot give you first hand advice. I would imagine talking to a lawyer would be smart so you can understand your legal options if there are credible threats.

Good luck and best wishes!

I think there are 2 areas where you can look for help.

The first is practical - contact your local police force - they will usually have a domestic violence liaison officer who will be able to advise you about any steps which they can take - for instance, 'flagging' your address, pointing you towards advice and support about home security (some forces have 'Bobby Vans' which can prvide advice and low-price work to improve security, for instance)
They should also be able to point you in the direction of other local support.
If your current anxeties are ­base­d on anything your ex has done or said, also speak to a solicitor about legal protection - if there have been recent threats, an injunction may be appropriate, if he is seeking contact, theywill be able to help you asses whether thi is apporpiate, and if so, how it can happen in a way which is safe for you and you children.

The second area where you may beneft from some help is in terms of the impact which recent 'triggers' have had on you. Since leaving your abusive partner, have you ever had any counselling or other suppotr of that kind? Even though you've been separated for a long time you will still be deaing with the aftermath and some professional help and support may be very helpful in coping with this, and helping you to move on.

Services vary depending where you are - in london, the women and girls netweork offers a lot of support (http://www.wgn.org.uk/index.php) The Fredom Programme is nationwide (http://www.freedomprogramme.co.uk/)
It may sound obvious, but have you spoken to your GP? S/he may be able to refer you for more general counselling or support, and can also assess whether you are currently suffering from depression and might benefit from medical help at this time.

I would also suggest checking out resoueces more generally in your local area (Womens Aid have a good selection of links - http://www.womensaid.org.uk/ including a forum where you can share experiences and chat to others who have been in a simialr position.

Remind yourself of the strong, protective person who you are, and that you have already taken the hardest step, of leaving to protect yourself and your children.
