Are you asking something or just wanting to discuss this?

That is horrible and I definitely understand why you'd have PTSD.
The first thing you need to do, if you haven't done it already, would be to get a restraining order.
You obviously have access to a computer so you can search and find information about how to obtain one or you can skip that and go directly to a police station.
Second, that CAN'T be right about you not being able to find out when he gets out of jail. If I were you I would talk to someone who would know the laws in your state.
Third, how does he keep finding you? Does your family tell him or have you kept your real name? If you haven't changed it and are using a credit card for ANYTHING at all, he can find you.
The only way you're going to be able to get on with your life is by getting therapy and moving on, but you CAN'T move on if you're living in constant fear.
So, 1. Restraining order 2. Talk to lawyer/police-find out what YOUR rights are and what you can do to stay safe 3. name change/no credit cards
Is there anything you've left out?
