Hi Ocean
I feel like I am at the beginning of all of this and have so much to learn from you all. My ex has just started his campaign of turning mutual friends against me. Starting with the parents of the children our children are closest to. Like you, I wish I could run away and start over but I can’t as my children are settled here. I want to be brave enough to cut the people off who believe him but, the same as you I feel so hurt and one of the reasons I stayed with him for so long was because I was so scared of losing family and friends.
I constantly question if he was right and it was all my fault. He talks to mutual friends about me then sends me abusive emails (detail removed by moderator) . It upsets me for days after and I spend my time constantly thinking of how I can make it all go away.
Sorry, I have no words of advice as I am really struggling with this too, just empathy and a similar experience
