partially true...
I dont want to go into details, but I was accused of something, and the accusations were renewed and reworded over a course of several years, the final incident brought me in for questioning
I walked around like a zombie for several years, and I admit it affects me today, I do not respond well to lies, people who lie to me or lie about me, even when people joke, I have to step back and rethink if they are just ribbing me...
It definitely changed my life.
If a certain person had just admitted to me that they knew they were wrong, and knew I was innocent and said they were sorry...I suppose that is all it would have taken to remove the emotional load, but, that person never has, and it is too long ago to ever expect it to occur in my future...and yes, that person knows that is what I wanted.
And the scumwaffle who was actually guilty was tried and convicted and sentenced to 15 years. Probably only did 7, too...
I am so sorry that happened to you.
