What do you do when a family member accuses you of abuse but actually its the other way around. And no matter who you talk to it is a totall waist of time because you have a bad tracct record for things that you have done in the past. But not only are you suffering but your children are suffering also.

If it is your children that are claiming the abuse, go see a doctor. We don't always see things right when it comes to ourselves. I put my children in abusive situations without believing they were harmful. If it someone else, trust yourself. Even though a family member usually knows a great deal, but they do not know everything about you.Even god waits for the end of your days to judge you, and so should you. When it all caomes down to it, it's all about you. If you make things right in your world, the path your children travel will be far less confusing. You owe it to yourself and yourchildren to find out for sure if these complaints are warranted, if they are not then you have come one step closer to understanding life. If you do it will be the first step into healing. I believe in you, your already looking for answers and thats a good sign. Keep up the good work
