I hear ya. I was definitely on the defense at first. But as time in court went by I gained confidence and strength. Not to mention all the support I received from my family, friends and this site. I also took pride in staying on the high road. She tried badmouthing me to teachers and doctors, friends, etc. even called DCFS on me with a bogus claim,, BUT it all blow up in her face when that GAL report came out stating that she is "talking bad about the other parent which is negatively influencing the minor child..."
So the "truth" will truly set you free. Although, sometimes it takes a while
