5 Things on What To Do After Being Falsely Accused of Domestic Violence

Allegations on domestic violence are serious matters. Such an accusation is an immediate disqualifier for apartment applications and job opportunities. It carries severe costs like arrest, custody denial, or a restraining order. Mostly, people make false domestic accusations to gain custody or revenge on their partner. Unfortunately, since domestic violence incidents happen behind closed doors, it is difficult for one to prove. This makes genuine victims of false accusations seek relief.
Even if you know you did nothing wrong, you could face criminal charges, investigation, or hostility from family members and friends. You may want to speak to your partner to solve the issue and convince them to drop the charges. Unfortunately, it may not end up well for you. If falsely accused of domestic violence, it is crucial to take the right steps when seeking relief. Here are vital steps to take after false allegations of domestic violence.

As I sit in the sorrow of the loss of life in Lebanon and Paris through the act of terrorism in the last few days I observe a love so deep in my heart that cannot be destroyed by these senseless acts. At times this is more easily said than done. Sometimes the pain inflicted by human beings on each other is so deep that it feels impossible to find my way through. The darkness is so overwhelming that I feel like sobbing. I feel it is impossible to move this pain and I allow myself to sit and write the pain. As I write I know in my heart there is a way through and all I have to do is open to Love and allow love to radiate from within me and share it with everyone that crosses my path. If each of us digs deep into our hearts in our darkest moments I believe we can find Love and share it so others can feel it too. I may not have all the answers ... I do have Love to see me through. May Love see us all through this experience called life.
