That site no longer exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has been replaced by something else now, something some might call our story. A story that sounds almost too wild to be true, except it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To borrow one of my favorite lines from one of my favorite movies, \u201cTruth has a strange sense of irony.\u201d And truth, it seems, has a way of leaking through the cracks, even in the most carefully planned fabrications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So let\u2019s begin with a question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How do you cover up years of spousal and child abuse while also setting the stage for revenge against the people who finally escaped it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apparently, you start a website. You write books. You counsel people about marriage. You repeat polished, pop-psychology phrases borrowed from real marriage books by real authors. You convince people that maybe you were the victim, that maybe a vindictive ex-spouse was keeping you from your children.  And that your children are in danger from her new husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All while, underneath it, you were moving from job to job to avoid paying child support, manipulating your children, and tearing down your ex-spouse and her new family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, once you had earned enough trust, you unleashed what can only be described as one of the most horrific plans of revenge against your ex-wife and her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It took years. But to be fair, he warned us from the beginning (Oct&#8217;2003).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said &#8220;&#8230;in less than ten years, our marriage would be over&#8230;&#8221;<br><br>So, Twenty-three years and counting, I\u2019d say he was a little off on the ten year mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, I\u2019ll give you this. Your perseverance was impressive. Your hate was strong, and it fueled you far longer than I ever thought it would. What you carried out was a ten-year con so unbelievable that when we tell people the full story, it usually takes three hours just to walk them through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But now, with our book coming soon, and with our children established as adults, we no longer have to be concerned with the blowback to them. Well except the blowback from the mess that they have created.  We will touch on that here too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Also, we no longer <strong>fear<\/strong> you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone knows now. We do not hide from any part of this story, and we are not ashamed of it. In fact, we tell it openly, as a testimony of what God brought us through. To our Church, Friends, Family. What is the best way to beat lies, is to be open and honest of the truth. It is our witness, our testimony and our connection that our sins don&#8217;t define who we are or what we become and neither do our enemies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everything you tried to throw at us, and everything your partner helped you throw at us, has now been brought into the light. You have played your last hand and you have both been publicly identified as the source of those attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The secrecy is gone. The fear is gone. And the truth is no longer yours to twist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is time to tell the story of how your hatred for us robbed us of time, money, peace, and nearly the life of one of our children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what will this site be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It will be the record. Our book is the story, this is the confrontation of evidence that backs that story.<br><br>Sometimes I will write it from the Third Person, telling about events, and answering questions that I have been personally asked while telling our story.  Sometimes I will write from the second person calling out the offending party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We documented every lie they told. Every account they used. Every attempt they made to attack us, discredit us, and rewrite what really happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Out of courtesy, I will redact names where they are not necessary.   The documents are real but there is no need to over expose. The names are not the point here for those who do not already know them. The story is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So now, it is time to set the record straight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you found this site because you came across it in a book about seashells, I\u2019m sorry.
