What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Massachusetts
I was in a domestic violence situation with my ex (with whom I have children) and he recently told me that he "better not catch wind of me talking about what I have been through, ever. If so, there will be legal issues brought against me". I know that there are others out there that have talked about their personal experiences.
My question is this: Can I talk about what I have been through if I do not use his name? I don't want to tell someone what I have been through and have him come back at me with slander or libel charges. We no longer live together and are divorced, but when we were together there were issues including physical, emotional and then when I was pregnant with my second child, a situation where I said no, and he continued to force himself on me. I have never even addressed the sexual issue and have only recently been able to admit to myself that was what happened.
I just want to know if I have the legal right to talk about my personal experience.
Thank you.
