Hey guys, two years ago my ex-wife (then-wife) and I slept together. At the time we were separated, and she was in a committed relationship with a woman. We had been fooling around for 6 months prior to that.
Now that I'm in a very serious relationship and have pushed back on how our son and I have been treated lately, she's come out and accused me of raping her. It's only in text right now, and I don't believe she'll take me to court over this, but i want to get a little insight as to what to do.
Law frens and people who have knowledge, can you drop some advice below? I'm already cutting off all non-logistical communications related to my son. But from there, I'm at a loss. Prayers are also appreciated.
Don't incriminate yourself, at this point plea the 5th to her every text. Don't respond, contact a lawyer or someone with knowledge if the situation. Look at Johnny Depp, if you interact woth her make sure you record it with the proper personal around it a lawyer or police officer. This way an authoritative figure can help you leverage the situation. Again taking some queues from Johnny Depp.
Sounds advice. Don't fall for provocations to use against you as the bad guy. OP sounds very level headed. This is the way.
And try not to react emotionally. Of course this is easier said than done, but she is trying to push you off balance to gain control over you.
Think of the Zen master, who anytime someone expressed some opinion about him, positive or negative, simply responded "is that so?"
