I am so, so sorry for everything you and your daughter have gone through and are still going through. What you described sounds terrifying and unbelievably exhausting, and I can’t imagine carrying that kind of fear, grief, and stress for so long. My heart really goes out to you both.
I’m not in a position to know or comment on all the details of what happened, but I do believe you deserve safety, support, and people in your corner who can actually help you with the harassment, the legal/financial mess, and the emotional fallout.
If it’s safe for you to reach out (for example, from a device you trust), some resources that might help:
National Domestic Violence Hotline (U.S.) – 24/7, free, confidential. They can help with safety planning, emotional support, and finding local resources, even if your situation doesn’t fit the “typical” picture of domestic violence or Call 1-800-799-SAFE (7233), text START to 88788, or chat at TheHotline.org or VictimConnect Resource Center – A national helpline for any crime victim (stalking, harassment, financial crimes, etc.). They can help you sort through options and connect you with local services and legal help or Call or text 1-855-4VICTIM (1-855-484-2846) or chat at VictimConnect.org or Indiana-specific help (if you’re still in Indiana):
The Indiana Criminal Justice Institute – Victim Services / Victim Compensation Program can sometimes help with things like counseling expenses, lost wages, and other costs linked to a violent crime. The Indiana Attorney General’s Address Confidentiality Program can help some victims of stalking/harassment keep their address protected on public records. The Center for Victim and Human Rights in Indiana offers legal help with protection orders, crime-victim rights, and related issues for victims of domestic violence, stalking, and other crimes.
Above all, I’m really glad you spoke up. You and your daughter deserve to feel safe in your own lives and to be taken seriously. I’m keeping you both in my thoughts and hoping you find people and systems that actually show up for you.
