Glad you are done with this man. Please have no further contact with him. Also, cancel the life policy if you have not already done this. Order your three credit reports which typically are free, experion and trans union come to mind. Then you can see what else has been done in your name, etc. You may also want to speak with a new seasoned attorney re your options especially if the divorce matter is still pending or if you have further contact with him or to even clear up any bad debts if necessary. If so, I suggest hiring an honest and experienced local legal counsel to discuss legal options further. Also, as for your question re marketing yourself as a survivor your choice of career is your own. Life experience can go a long way in giving someone insight and knowledge, but you also may want to look into working in the field, perhaps helping other survivors to further your knowledge and training too. Some college courses might also help you down the line if you like the experience of working in this field. Best of luck.
