When I was dating my wife, she was getting terrorized by her little boy. My wife told me that she was forced into an arranged marriage and the boy was the product of rape and abuse before she escaped the marriage with a divorce that also led to her parents disowning her. 

What a great sob story. Boy did I fall for that one. Fool me once... 

Fast forward fourteen years and the little boy is a man-child now. My wife is telling everyone that I am an abusive husband and she married me based on false pretenses. Now instead of terrorizing his mom, the man-child goes after me.
