The Anatomy of Obsession: Survivor Insights into Prolonged Targeting and Digital Abuse

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This paper explores the kind of person who targets a survivor for over 15 years, not just once, but repeatedly, across platforms, relationships, and life stages. It’s not written from a clinical lens, but from lived experience. It asks: what sustains this obsession? What drives someone to contact employers, friends, family, and strangers to provoke harm? And how can survivors protect themselves without becoming consumed by the cruelty?
