How do you deal with being falsely accused by a woman you know?

[lightbulb27]

I was recently, got the emotional abuse from it.

It was proven I was innocent, falsely accused!

What do you do to address the situation with the false accuser... assuming you know them and it's safe to do so?

I just had something similar to that yesterday. Internally i told myself to willingly try to feel as bad as i can about it, as if i truly did what i am accused of doing. Externally i just show no signs of even hearing the accusations. I don't owe anyone proof of anything either way. ㅤ

What specifically wa she accusation? I once told a guy he pushed me too far (with his attitude) and he thought I was accusing him of sexual whatever. (As if I’d let that happen.)

That I misplaced something of theirs when I hadn't. they forgot that they picked it up and put it somewhere. They were blaming me for losing their item. It wasn't direct, it was emotional abuse and attitude it was my fault, accepted no fault of their own when the truth was revealed.

Nothing. Avoid them. Otherwise you’re just asking for another false accusation.

family...

Like you would deal with anyone, regardless of gender.

like what? Aready called them out, but was offered no apology, they were just sad and avoidant. that's not good enough for me. Going to escalate.

You cut toxic people out of your life. Wasting your energy trying to get back at them only hurts you. Move on and don't deal with her at all if that's possible. Pretend she doesn't exist and give her none of your energy.

I could, might be the smart move even, but that be a big one! there's nothing that can be done from the training viewpoint?

Don't listen to these milksops, keep it legal but get revenge. They hurt you it's only right that you hurt them.

its family. I'd do that to ensure they learn and don't repeat with me or others. intentionally, that's not going to be ok, I'm not vindictive.
