This might end up a bit long but basically I was with DSs dad for 2 years. He was emotionally and financially abusive and a handful of times he the abuse was physical.
When DS was 3 months old I left the home and moved back in with my family.
I took DS to his flat for a visit and he got drunk and became really aggressive. Called me all sorts of names and threw a car seat across the room when I was a few inches from putting DS in it. He snatched 3 month old DS from me and locked us in his flat. The police weren't involved as my dad was waiting outside and came to the rescue.
We haven't seen him since, it's been over 2 years now. Since then every time I'm out and I seem someone who looks vaguely similar to him (similar hair/ a beard/ same style of clothing) I panic, I feel like I can't breathe and I need to get away from them as fast as possible even though I know it isn't him. I feel like this stranger is going to start acting like my ex and try and take DS from me, which I know is irrational and rediculous.
I'm not really sure what to do now. I feel like I don't want to bother a doctor with this, I feel like they'll just think I'm being over dramatic when the abuse was so minor in comparisment to others and it was never reported.
I don't know, I suppose I'm just looking for some advice?
