BTDT...had my ex falsely accuse me of spousal abuse back in '99.
@txradioguy Same '12. Never laid a bruise on her or any of the kids. I was all stove up in a wheelchair at the time, and literally couldn't throw a punch that would matter. Turtles moved faster than I could.
Her say-so was all there was, and still that was enough for a restraining order and 6 friggin months with a court appointed shrink, on my dime. Still, after he drug about 2k outta my butt, the shrink finally said the charge was frivolous, which I take it to mean a damn lie. So no fault no foul, right?
Other than 2 thousand bucks, my time for 2 sessions a week (three to begin with) for six months, a contempt charge (because I wouldn't take the drugs the shrink said I needed early on), a weekend in the can, not seeing my kids for all that time, and only with supervision for two months even after I was cleared (protocols), my ex in the catbird seat for custody issues, and CSED enumerating the charge in filings thereafter, even though I was cleared, to justify a whole bunch more BS.
And people wonder why I don't trust the sonsabiches.
But with today's proposals they'd have taken any gun I owned just on her false accusations.
Like I said, I am near certain my ex would have done the same.
