Escaping my abusive ex.

I am a 31 year old woman and a survivor of domestic violence. My abusive ex-boyfriend was a 36 year old man. I am writing this post to warn others and to gather information. He is genuinely the scum of the earth and has left a trail of destruction in his wake everywhere he has been, all under the guise of being a "good guy". <br><br>I was in an abusive relationship for 3 1/2 years. I got out about 4 months ago. My abuser does not know my whereabouts. The reason I am writing this post is in the hopes of getting help. He's a very dangerous man. I have filed a restraining order against him and been granted a 3 year order of protection but I have reason to believe that this won't deter him from lashing out at me. I'm planning on moving across the country to escape him. <br><br>In order to leave, I had to leave my job, my friends and my family. My abuser would show up to my work unannounced, even though he knew he was not allowed there. (I had spoken to my HR department about this and they did nothing.) My abuser would call my friends and family members and harass them. My abuser would tell people at my workplace shitty lies about me and try to turn them against me. I believed that if I left town, he would forget about me and move on to his next victim. <br><br>I left on a Tuesday and on the following Monday, he had somehow tracked me to my new location. He believed I was hiding at my brothers house and on Monday showed up there. When he realized I wasn't there, he proceeded to send threatening text messages to my brother and his wife. He threatened to hire a private investigator to track me down and he threatened to kill my brother and his wife if they didn't give him my exact whereabouts. <br><br>My brother and his wife filed a police report and a restraining order against my abuser. A few days later my abuser had my brothers address and showed up again, this time when my brother and his family were home. He sat in his car across the street from my brothers house for 2-3 hours. My brother called the police and they did nothing. They did not even send an officer out. My brother called 2-3 times and was told "well, he's not technically breaking the law". <br><br>I am terrified of my abuser because I know what he is capable of. I have reason to believe that he will kill me if he finds me. My abuser has a history of harassing, stalking and raping women. I know he's done this to many women before me. <br><br>My question is, where can I go to be safe? I know he will hire private investigators. I know he will track my digital footprints. I have already deleted all social media and I am trying to remove myself from the grid. I am currently renting an apartment that is not in my name. I have already been stalked at my apartment once, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before he finds me again. This is why I am planning on leaving the state, to put as much distance between us as possible. <br><br>What can I do to protect myself? How can I stay safe? Does anyone know of any resources I can use? Any safe houses or survivors of domestic violence that I can reach out to? <br><br>TLDR: I am a survivor of domestic violence. I am planning on moving across the country to escape my abuser. He is a very dangerous man. What can I do to protect myself?
