Because, to be able to sell her new M to my S's, xW has had to malign and distort the history of our M and our family life, to freakish proportions. She has been trying to convince our S's that the reason we were split apart was solely because of me, that I was an unloving workaholic who was too stingy with sharing my time with them, a poor, absent father who never really loved his children and treated them all like "possessions". And that she was nothing but the innocent loving victim who has now suddenly found "love" with OM. She's reverted back to her old saw that we never really loved each other and thus I basically forced her to commit adultery.
Two wrongs don't make a right, I know. My own commentary might very well have been unwise, but failing to defend the truth of what really was and took place, against such outright lies and fabrications, seems equally foolhardy.
I will try to contain my words from now on, not say anything, but I don't think there's any way to minimize the impact here -- either I fall on my sword as xW expects me to, or I at the very least stand as silent testament that their mother is a pathological liar. No matter what, nobody will be fully satisfied by whichever path I take.
