Whilst at uni I had a 'boyfriend' who did lots of horrific things to me - DV, rape and other things to do with him thinking he was a 'vampire' that I wish I could forget. He also forced me to take drugs and stole hundreds of pounds of my money.
I did go to the police after he began stalking me when I split with him, even hacking my emails, posing as someone else on MSN and sending out emails to all my uni friends telling them I was a 'sexual deviant' but this was over 10 years ago and I was told that emails he'd sent were over 30 days old, they couldn't press charges. He took 3 overdoses at my student house when other housemates stupidly let him in and I drove him to hospital every time but they wouldn't section him and I ended up having to hold bowls of his piss and vomit because I'd brought him in.
I feel like it's my duty to prevent this happening to anyone else, but I was so badly let down at the time by police it makes me want to never think about it ever again.

I spent 6 hours giving a statement after he broke into my car and threw a big through my window, but the police did nothing. It haunts me every day - when I see a man who resembles him I panic straight away. He robbed me of the last months of my mum's life too. I just don't know whether it's too late, if I'd even be believed, and whether of not reporting this would make him target me again.
