My ex-husband’s new wife posted my address online. Along with it, an edited video claiming I was an alcoholic.
In my last life, I posted the full video and begged everyone not to believe her.
All I got in return was a flood of abuse and anonymous reports.
They found alcohol in my daughter’s backpack, and everyone decided I was the one who had ruined her.
As they shoved her into the car, she cried for her mother.
In the end, I swallowed the pills.
When my phone lit up again, I was back. Nine minutes after the post went up.
In the edited clip, I looked drunk, collapsed by my front door.
The comments had already convicted me.
But instead of typing a reply, I closed the text box and took screenshots of the slander and the address she’d made public.
Then I pulled the original video from the cloud, complete with the timestamp.
I’d only been exhausted after work and had sat there for a few minutes.
This time, I went straight to the police and handed over both videos.
When I got the first case number, I didn’t cry.
If she wanted to try to take my daughter again, she’d have to bring me the next piece of evidence herself.
