How To Out An Abusive Parent Without Slander Charges (ma)

Card image cap

Hi All.

I grew up in Massachusetts and left the state.

My mother and father, prominent local politicians who continue to try to run for mayor in my home town, spent my childhood brutally physically and verbally abusing myself and my sister. After leaving home as an adult, I told them I would break contact unless they went to therapy to stop being abusive, they refused and accepted no role in the suffering I or my sister was put through. They continue to be politically active.

I want to out these people publicly as child abusers. It is unacceptable to me that they are looked at so highly in the public eye and have a political presence. It's so wrong.

Throughout my childhood I have been: Dragged by the throat from my T-shirt, told to hide bruises from teachers, given death threats, called horrific names such as 'aspergers' and 'f*g boy', etc. These people are monstrous.

Is a public Facebook post or reaching out to a local newspaper to publicize my experiences even in any way shape or possible without being slander. My parents are both attorneys as well, so I am especially worried.

I have no way to prove these things, my sister and I are estranged, but I would absolutely testify under oath they happened.

Thank you for your time and consideration to respond to my post.
