Yes,
Instead of "taking care of business" it appears you were preoccupied with the upcoming eclipse.
you didnt safeguard you car or your bank account. You more than likely failed to lay out other precautionary measures to keep this series of events from happening.
You ex-wife probably knew you would be on the roof trying to photo the eclipse giving her some lead time to light out with the car. seeing you jump and scramble gave her the idea to accuse you of assault ( she may have hit her collar bone while hastily getting in the car or just previous, in an unrelated event.
Your mother and father are, self admittingly, not on your side. So you have had some previous "less that sterling moments" regarding your behavior toward wife and family in the past.
Were you drinking before or during this event. Does drugs, alcohol,other addictive or devious behavior factor into this? Do you have anger issues? Are you considered by others as a "manchild"?
Are you capable of serious self reflective and self critical thought and positive action? Have you done any of this lately? If you go back and read your post I think you will find some of the answers to the questions you have are right there. Read, think read and think some more.

First off, she went to her bank, and got her money.
I jumped because I thought my car was being stolen, that's all.
My mother and father, don't know me very well but they do know I'm nor a violent person and have never had incidents of this like in the past, that much they can't ignore.
I appreciate everyone on this thread trying to help me through being a wife beater, or whatever but I gave a back story and asked one question.
Whatever my parents think at this point is irrelevant.

I don't know how to be any less blunt, but that is a common trait in a lot of wife beaters, or people with anger problems. That doesn't help your case.
I do not understand why they would believe her if it is not in your character. Regardless of your past with them. Again, not saying you were guilty of anything at that moment in time.edit on 5-22-12 by paradox because: (no reason given)

So now, I'm living in my car, with no money to my name, confused as hell, with no phone.
Then how are you posting in these forums? Just curious, if you have no phone either?

Have you considered that maybe his parents are crazy and not him? I've met PLENTY of people who are more rational/sane than their parents and have to put up with ridiculous/immature insanity and accusations from them. Couple this with a crazy ex-wife (which is quite common) and you've got a recipe for alienation.

ETA: wow, I think this is the wrong forum
Preface: I live in Houston, so I only saw maybe 23% of the eclipse before the sun set (got good pics though).
Anyway, so I was out, on a ladder in front of my moms house, snapping pictures of the eclipse and being excited as it's my first time seeing one. For the past month or so, I've been going through a divorce which has been overall very peaceful. The eclipse had just become invisible to me, and I was trying to get onto the roof to try and catch a final glimpse, when I see my car drive off - without me.
It wasn't anything for me to jump off the roof, and find out from my visiting family that my (ex)wife had gone to the bank (on a sunday evening!??!).
So about 5 minutes later, my father comes out, and confronts me about hitting my wife. I told him that if that's what she said, then she lied because when she left, I was all the way on the roof, with pictures and time stamps to prove it. So about 15 minutes later, visiting family left, and my wife returned. She immediately began accusing me of lying and saying that I hit her in the collar bone area. My temper got to me a little, and my parents began to intervene. Once in the house, both my parents, and her, begin browbeating me about my current situation. I recently got fired from my job and am in a dispute with UEI because the employer provided invalid reasons for my dismissal. Because of that situation, I was being called a dead beat, and such from all 3, as if I'm not busting my ass looking for work!
This confusing situation escalated more and more, until my father told me to leave, and to not come back - and that she was welcome to stay. After realizing he was serious, I left, confused, and honestly pretty depressed overall.
Not an hour later, my phone service was suspended for non payment.... even though I paid..........
So now, I'm living in my car, with no money to my name, confused as hell, with no phone. The only bright side, is I saw a (partial) solar eclipse for the first time in my life. good pics...
Could there be a connection between the eclipse, and the SHingTF in my life?edit on 22-5-2012 by My.mind.is.mine because: (no reason given)
