Cherries Jubilee
I was still shaken from my now ex-wife's treachery. I did not understand how we could have been so close, and best friends, besides lovers and spouses- and Mary still did this to me! We went from that directly to forever enemies, with no apparent intervening steps, just as if we were suddenly turned into someone the exact opposite of ourselves. It really hurt. I wound up leaving our once happy home for a cheap furnished apartment.
It still broke my heart that she had stabbed me in the back, time after time, and Mary said it was in explicit retribution for what I HAD DONE. I had done nothing. Absolutely nothing! Her hateful duplicity had come out of nowhere, and led to the complete and utter destruction of our once happy marriage. I was just devastated by her actions. Her name was Mary. I don't know what her demon-from- hell-name was, but I am fairly certain she was one!
She gave me no reasons for the divorce, but she had gone out of her way to make sure that I knew of all her fucking infidelities. She called them her "revenge fucks". Revenge for what? What the hell had I ever done to merit this damn mistreatment? I had never ever been with another woman since we became exclusive and that was way before we took our vows.
I was just destroyed all over again and again by her latest perfidy. She sent me pictures and videos of her fucking. If she wanted to hurt me, she surely had done so. I did not think that I could be hurt any more. I was wrong. I was hurt even worse.
I was hurt once again when my daughter and my son told me that they were disowning ME for my alleged "affairs", and I would never see either of them again. What in hells name had I ever done to merit this total fucking disregard and outright slander? The way I was treated was worse than any poor damned leper.
This was a whole new level of pain, and total disrespect from my own children. She had totally destroyed our marriage, and then poisoned my relationship with my children. Her revenge against me was complete and I was a broken man. I contemplated suicide. I decided to find out just what I had done to merit this malevolent outcome.
I contacted a local private investigator and asked him to see what he could find. I paid upfront several thousand dollars and after three weeks he still had absolutely nothing but a few rumors from the nurses Mary worked with.
The one rumor was that Mary was fucking some rich brain surgeon, but the PI had nothing but hearsay to back up that theory. He made the suggestion that a good defense was a great offense. He thought perhaps Mary had been having an affair and decided to throw ME under the bus with nary a thought of evidence to bolster her claim. How is it my kids, now adults, bought her story hook line and sinker?
Well I didn't know what to do. I simply wrote my kids a very simple letter. I then explained that I had never, ever cheated in the whole of my marriage to their mother. I had been summarily convicted without a trial, and with no evidence, or even a chance to answer or refute a single question. I pointed out that their mother had made it clear that she had sought out other men to have multiple revenge trysts to DELIBERATELY hurt me.
It had worked too. I was very hurt. I was hurt in the tragic loss of my whole life, my entire world had come crashing down, like a house of cards, but in reality it was the sum total of ME that was broken... with no hope of any repair. Mary had beaten me.
And she did it on purpose! These acts of calculated malice and preplanned emotional savagery made it a foregone conclusion that our marriage was now just a thing of the past... a wonderful memory up until she then decided to destroy it. I wish I could figure out why on earth she had done this to me, to us both. She had the 'nuke' button in her hand and she seemed to enjoy pushing it repeatedly!
I let my kids know that I still loved them and forgave them for whatever bad ideas they got into their heads. I wished my children well, and prayed that they might look more closely at the so called "evidence" of my behavior.
And that was it. All family interaction stopped. I was virtually alone in the world. Her evil plans had worked to utmost perfection, and I was removed from my son's and daughter's lives. I might as well be dead and buried. As far as my children were concerned I WAS DEAD TO THEM. How nice of them.
I have yet to hear back from either one of my grown children. I guess I must have done something really bad in a former life to be this mistreated in this one. But I was now a total pariah, insofar as my former wife and my now estranged children were concerned. I had been cast out, flung into the fire as it were. I was alone in the world. Like many a dirty politician, she kept repeating the lies again and again, until people who should know better started to believe them. The fabrications took on a life of their own, even though they had no basis in fact, she screamed about my cheating as if it were gospel. How do you fight crap like that?
With no clear way to clear my name or defend myself from any of the bullshit charges, I simply gave up and walked away from the whole disgusting mess. This was a situation that I simply had no way to win, and the outcome was already predetermined. I had no idea what to do, other than just try to start my own life over again.
I was not a churchgoing man, but with no other option, I went to church and prayed to God for his help. I have spoken to the pastor and told him the whole story. I don't know if he believed me or not, but at this point, why would I lie? He has prayed with me.
I met his brother, an ex cop who now had his own detective agency. He said he would be happy to take my case for a $5000 fee and $200 a day in expenses. I said no thank you, even if I wanted too, I didn't have that kind of money laying around. I had already paid a PI, with nothing but rumors for my several thousand dollars. I decided not to waste any more money on the bitch. She obviously wanted things as they were; these were her true feelings, evidence or not. She wanted to be divorced! Why try to catch her in a lie? Why bother?
I mean after all the hatred and retaliation adultery I have suffered, what would be the point? Even if I had cleared up my name, after what she's done to me? But the fact is, she is never, ever coming back to me, and my bastard pissant children have not spoken a single word to me this whole entire time. I'm pretty sure one of the ten commandments deals with bearing false witness, so those two and their mom will have to answer for it eventually. Lord have mercy.
