tinktronik Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Wow , I had a totally strange conversation this evening. Over the last couple of years ,Ive started to build repoire with my father, weve never had a relationship before.My parents divorced shortly after I was born and I dident grow up knowing him, I spent a couple of summers with him,two to my recolection.But hes not a phone person , and weve never lived close by...so the relationship has been pretty nonexistent.It is well known that my mother is crazy and violent and I just guessed this was why they divorced, but noone would ever discuss it or answer specific questions. Ok so anyway, I was having a convo with my father , and my mom comes up , he hasent talked to her in like 15 years and I dont talk to her much. But he tells me that the reason they divorced was ...the month before I was born my mother had him arrested for kidnapping , rape ,and aggravated assult of her that suposedly happened durring the span of a weekend.He was jailed and held untill 2 police officers came forward b/c they had been with him at military reserve duty durring the entire time period that she claimed this incident occured...then all charges were dropped. This is just insane, I dont understand why Im 26 years old and no one has ever mentioned this to me before.I had always wondered why my father would not want to be involved in the life of his only child ,it was always just said that he was afraid of my mother.Well ,honestly Ive resented that as an excuse for a long time , but now im not so sure ...I know I shouldent excuse him from never being in my life , but this does shed some light on the situation.Im quite confused .....Any help here?
