False Accusations

Okay just have to get this off my chest! It is basically about a X friend of mine, her mom and me! To keep a long story short, I will just post about what happened recently! I plan on adding more (with images and documentation) later on, so stay tuned, this nice guy going to stop being submissive and defend his reputation (with proof)!

Let the story begin:

On 01/06/2015, I just finished another long day at a renovation project that I got hired to do (more about this project later) and as my usual routine, I headed to the coffee shop that is halfway between my place to use the Internet. My plans were to message my x friend mom about whether or not, they are interested in renting out the place that I was renovating, so the daughter can have a new and safe place for her and her kids(more later)

After getting my coffee and sitting down, I went to facebook from my cellphone (free WIFI at this coffee shop) and as soon as I logged in, I seen that there was a message from my x friend mom. I was kinda excited because I figured that she was messaging me about the house (renovation project)..boy was I wrong..below you will find part of the message (names have been blocked out but still have the original screenshot..

Did you read what I was accused off? Do you know how bad of a reputation, I would get if this accusation was remotely true?

Now there is the fact that this message is very libelous and slanderous (accusation was told verbally and also posted in written form AND BELIEVED!), and I probably could sue! There also the fact that this is not the first time that the daughter told this story, only difference is that the people she told it too, didn't believe her (they know me well, she was just trying to get people to hate me) and more important, they have no money!

Now, the reason that I am just posting about this very slanderous message is

• I can understand a loving mother wanting to protect her child! Isn't that what a mom does? I can respect that!
• I am hoping that this "crap"about me will never be mentioned again!

Now, here is a little background about my relationship with the daughter, going to be vague and only share what I exactly know!

1. In the message, I mentioned Quetiapine (yes I spelled it wrong in the message but click on the word and you will find some valid and relevant information about the drug).
   
   Now when I first starting hanging out with the daughter, I noticed a pill bottle on her coffee table and I asked her about it. Her response was that "it helps her stay calm and lessens her anxiety." I googled that drug and read the same information that the link showed.


2. At the time had deep feeling for the daughter, feelings that I never experienced for a long time and just recently lost them! So I figured, this girl (daughter) is very pretty, smart and fun to be around with (girlfriend material) but she has problems. Problems that were just part of her and if I wanted her in my life, I would have to accept! Isn't that what real love is about?


3. Now another big factor to this story is that the daughter just ended a long term relationship (yes I know I was the rebound guy) with a controlling, manipulative, abusive boy who lived off of woman.
   
   Now when this jerk (bum etc) found out that the daughter was hanging out with me, he started telling people that I was a drug dealer and was supplying the daughter with drugs and that was why she was hanging out with me! DO YOU REMEMBER THIS STORY MOM?
   
   Now anyone that know me or the daughter know that I don't do drugs and neither does the daughter!


4. Now let me fast forward this story a few months maybe a year later...me and the daughter had a falling out (I didn't want to be part of a triangle again)! The daughter goes off her meds, we have a few arguments, I started to message the mom about what happening in her daughters life (new "friend" who is a woman beating junkie)..daughter gets pissed off at me cause I am "ratting her out" to her mom... mom and daughter have nightly talk...for reason of her own, daughter tells this story about me


5. The summer that was mentioned was also the time that the daughter was not eating and drinking up to 6 large Ice caps (32 grams of sugar in each one) and thinking back..around that time..while visiting me, I gave the daughter a tea and she watched me put saccharine in it..cause of the amount of sugar that day, about two hours after I gave her the tea, she went into a coma..since it was the first one of many comas that I seen, I didn't know what to do but put her on my bed, cover her up and wipe her forehead..THAT IT, NOTHING FUNNY HAPPENED..NO DRUGS..NO SEX
