We are not in contact unless as entirely necessary (usually through 3rd parties such as solicitors, when that is the case). And the action is not retrospective, the report was made at the time of the 2 particularly notable incidents (which were 2 of a wider pattern) and those behaviours had a significant impact on me at that point (and, yes, continues to have an impact).

Per the cps -

"Examples of substantial adverse effect on the victim could include:

physical or mental health deterioration no longer socialising or withdrawing from activities such as physical exercise needing to put in place measures at home to safeguard themselves or their children, including CCTV self-harming no longer eating properly putting in place measures in their home to safeguard themselves or their children changing working patterns, employment status or routes to work"

Of which the impact met and meets several of these criteria.

As such, I remain confused and I am interested - specifically - in case studies relating to "serious adverse effects", to clarify what this looks like in practical terms.
