[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 10693, member: 1991"] The poor girl - what a nasty thing for ex-boyfriend to do. We went through some similar garbage when easy child 2/difficult child 2 broke up with her recent ex. He blogged on a website where she's well-known, some very nasty, vicious stuff about her - then asked her to get back together with him! She needs to rise above it. Getting drunk is not the best way to cope, because that only makes the boyfriend's story more easily believed and makes it harder for her to think of a good comeback line. She shouldn't have been drinking, but if she'd already heard about boyfriend's lies then I can understand it. Not forgive it, but understand. And crying that much will give you a headache anyway. Can you sit with her and role-play some killing responses she can use for the next time someone makes a comment about ex-boyfriend's lies? It also gives you another opportunity to talk to her about choices. What she says he did to her - sounds like Australia's Big Brother house "turkey slap" incident. Yuk! One thing she COULD say - "If his version is right, then why did I break up with HIM?" And for a more effective put-down - "Why would I want to do that with HIM? He was already leaving a nasty taste in my mouth." [sorry if I offend anyone with that one, but it sounds like this girl has been dragged through the mud already, she needs some help to cope]. Dignity and humour of a sort implying "he is beneath my dignity" will give the lie to this creep's words. In his attempt he committed sexual assault. Now he's desperately trying to protect himself. Here's hoping she learns from this to not trust the wrong type of bloke too readily. Marg [/QUOTE]
