Hey.

I need options. Right now, the only option I can think of is Adult Protective Services, or APS.

If anyone has a resource I can use, please give it to me.

Thanks.

"local rather than national or global"

That helps! I'll look for local orgs.

If you're in the US one thing you can look for as well is sexual health advocacy / organizations. Obviously and unfortunately abuse and sexual health often have a ton of overlap so although said organization may not specifically be able to help you they may be able to recommend you to someone who can. Often with these sorts of things you gotta get a bit creative to find the path to the resource that can help you. Anyway good luck I hope you can connect with a resource that can help out in your situation
