I 30f went no contact with my mom 8 months ago. since then she has been running her mouth to anyone that will listen to try to get them to help her change my mind and speak to her again. I normally wouldn’t care but one of the things she is telling them is that my husband is abusing me and he forced me to stop talking to her.

This is not true. He is an amazing husband, father and my best friend. In no way am I being abused or manipulated. He just supports me with everything so when I decided I was done with my mom he supported me.

The problem is my father is threatening to go to social media saying my husband is abusing me if I don’t let my mom see my kids.

My husband has a pretty public job and if this gets back to anyone he works with it would affect his work life immensely. Promotions, transfers and even just day to day life.

Is there anything I can do to get them to stop spreading lies? I know it’s just a matter of time before they say it to the wrong person and it gets back to my husbands work.

My cousin is getting married in a couple of months I received the invite in the mail a few days ago for my husband and I for the rehearsal dinner and the wedding. I didn’t respond yet because I just had a feeling I should wait.
Well I was right to wait. Yesterday I received a very lengthy text my aunt (cousins mom) about how me being NC with my mom is effecting the whole family and because I’m not willing to go to family counseling with her then I’m apart of the problem. That our family has always moved past problems and has been able to overcome anything. And if my mom is willing to admit that she was wrong and is willing to change then that it’s self is a huge step.
(My mom has been in therapy for 4 months because it was one of my stipulations for possible reconciliation. I’ve spoken with her therapist who has told me himself she has not changed and is very unlikely to change.)
Well my aunt ended the text saying the wedding invitations are now rescinded because my parents will be there. And also “this is an example of how a broken relationship effects more than just the people involved”
