AIO My ex-wife is spreading the false rumor that my Dad killed himself
My Dad died fairly young of a pulmonary embolism. My ex-wife has been telling people that he committed suicide because she thinks it makes me look bad. She’s told enough people that the rumor has reached my hometown, and I now have people from my childhood, who knew my Dad, asking me about it.
We have two teenage kids who can potentially be exposed to these rumors. They were very close to their Pa-Paw. I’ve made sure I have a copy of the coroner’s report in case they come asking. I haven’t confronted her yet, because I don’t want to overreact. She will tell me she was “venting” and that I’m overreacting because I’m insecure. But I’m not right? This is egregiously shitty, and it’s perfectly reasonable for me to confront her and ask her to stop?
