How can I stop thinking that I’m going to run into my abuser in public when he lives 20 minutes away from me?

Stranger things have happened!! I live in the north, my cousins live a 9-hour drive west of me. One time, my whole family went to Florida for a month and, while there, we decided to see Disney World. While we were there, we ran into my cousins from Indiana!!
How strange that neither of us knew the other was there but we both decided to go the same day AND ran into each other while we were there!!

20 minutes isn't far if he knows the places you visit.

If it is a small town, you really can't do much. You can get a restraining order that he would have to comply with to get some peace of mind.

I already had one but it has expired
