Document Everything
My situation is a worst case scenario. I have no idea how it got this far, but here we are.
Worst case scenario is also not being heard or understood.
Imagine that I had not documented anything. What if I had nothing to back up my claims? No hard proof. Nothing to show people that I was NOT making this up.
No one would have believed me. I have all of this documentation and there are still people who do not believe me. Or take it seriously.
I would have been screwed. I would have had no chance.
Write everything down. Dates, details, words said. Journal, blog. As much as possible. I know for me remembering things came in waves, like peeling back the layers. I still to this day have things that come to me that my subconscious has buried. Write it down when you remember. Fill in the picture.
It will help keep you sane and figure out what is going on. This type of abuse is disorienting and causes you to doubt your reality and what you are actually experiencing. Write it down.
