My ex (who is now deceased) was a very emotionally & verbally abusive. We were married for 26 years (yeah, I know) and during that time I endured all kinds of accusations, ranging from having affairs with the next-door neighbor (YUCK) to the neighbor behind us (ICK!) to Lord only knows who!!! NONE of these were true! In fact, he was the one who cheated when he was in the National Guard, and they went on 2 week maneuvers -- he took a local girl with him!!

Anyway -- he would accuse me of all sorts of things; and when our children got older, he TOLD them what he THOUGHT I did. Now since our kids loved both of us (although they too were abused by him and would get fed up with him) they have been unsure who to believe! They "tell" me they believe me, but I'm not convinced. They don't act like they totally believe me. I hate to think that THEY think their mother was a tramp!

Anybody else go thru this kind of messy stuff? ugh.
