I will try to make this as short as possible.
My ex wife went to a Family Court Judge and lied to get an order of protection to put me out of our home. That same day she called my own therapist to tell him that I was a "paranoid schizophrenic,drunk,drug addict and violent"
She then began a crusade to defame me to even my own family and successfully convinced my own daughter-in-law to put me back out on the street. She then came to the hotel where I was satying and told the desk clerk that I had no money to pay the bill and I was soliciting prostitutes in the hotel room.
Now, in November of 2004, she had me arrested 3 times for allegedly sending her email technically violating a non communication order of protection. Even though my name was not on the emails , she filed complaints with the State Police and I was subsequently arrested AT MY JOB , in front of my coworkers, customers and employer.
After the last arrest on November 10, I was remanded to the County Jail and then released when my son posted $500 bail. On November 12,2004, I checked myself into a local mental health facility havng a nervous breakdown. I was riddled with fear that I would be arrested again. I want to mention that I suffer from clinical depression and Panic disorder. I was forced to leave my job after my release from the hospital because of my depression and have not yet returned to work because of the depression. I see a therapist every week and it will be sometime before I am able to be back to where I was before this all happened.
Do I have a legal case in suing for both defamation and for damages(medical costs,loss of wages,punitive damages) because of her accusations and lies???
I am a real mess. I was on top of the world before this all happened. I was working fulltime, had my own side business, was socially active.etc. Now I am home all of the time, I can't work,I cry constantly, cringe when I see a State Police car , etc.
Mutual friends avoid me due to her lies and some family members still treat me with distain.
