Hello everyone,
Essentially, my sister is afraid to break up with her current live-in partner, because she fears that he will harass her/stalk her at her various general surgery rotations. He is ex-military, and so she fears that no matter what measures she takes that he will somehow find her at work. She is not exactly afraid of physical violence, but that he will make a large ruckus/scene and she fears that that will reflect badly on her to the attendings/interns. She is also afraid that if he harasses her at work, this will potentially ruin her career prospects. She has 1.5 years of residency left, and she is seriously considering staying in this toxic relationship until she can effectively move to a new hospital system/practice. However, it is imperative that she leave him as soon as arrangements can be made for a new place to live, etc.
She also fears immediately filing a restraining order, because she fears that will "set him off" even more, and basically augment the problem.
So, my question is, what support systems does a hospital system have for women with "crazy ex-boyfriends?" What are some possible solutions? Any advice at all is welcome.
