One father shares his experience due to false accusations in his custody matter. The long-term impact of the emotional and financial devastation permeates all aspects of life.  Relationships with family, friends, and co-workers are forever altered due to the lies about them. Some individuals may never know the truth.  Parent-child relationships may never fully recover. Children may live their lives with false facts told about a parent they adore, cherish and love.  

 

Looking back over the past 3 years I can see that I was in a deep state of depression.  I  was ashamed because of the lies and accusations made by my ex.  I was ashamed because I was unable to protect my children from my wife who had ‘mental health problems.

I was falsely accused and labeled as an abuser.  I lost my job.  I had to move into my parents home.  I was labeled as a trouble maker in my county’s courthouse. The self-help division of family court even refused to help me.  The pain and shame I experienced will NEVER leave me.

I am unable to hold my head up high.  I can not live a normal life because of what my ex did.

The pain and shame will stay with me forever!
