What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
I posted a bit of a long winded post, but it timed out and erased all of it >.<
So im going to try to summarize my post.
My parents have a long history of alcohol abuse, physical abuse, and verbal abuse. I've tried to make some semblance of peace with them so that my daughter may see her grand parents from time to time, but my father is constantly trying to dictate and control the lives of my family the way he controls my mother. He's an extremely toxic and abusive person, and constantly uses threats of violence, threats of money, or threats of legal action to scare people into doing what he wants them to do. He's a military officer so this has largely gone ignored.
Last night they invited my family and i over for dinner which was weird because we haven't herd from them in some time. It became apparent that they had invited us over to belittle us and try to pick a fight. I got my family and left before it got too out of hand, and when we got home i vented over facebook to family and friends that i was done with my parents, that they are toxic people and i was cutting them out of my life for good. The next day it turns out they got wind that i posted about them over facebook and now they've threatened a law suit if i don't apologize to them and take the post down. I really don't buy the threats as i know they are pretty much all talk, but i would like to know any advice i could use to arm myself if they do push it to that point.
Thank you for your time.
