Many years ago (almost 20 years), I had a prolonged and very traumatic experience. The person responsible moved away and I got on with my life. I'm now (happily) married with DC. Life is good.
Recently, this person has moved back to my (immediate) area. I've seen them around, from afar multiple times. I'm unaware if they know I'm here or if they have seen me. I know this person can no longer hurt, abuse or cause me harm now.
My anxiety because of this has gone off the scale. Every time I see this person it feels like an electric shock.
Can anyone offer any advice? I'm really struggling
