That's exactly the opposite of how "tl;dr" is used.

Holy shit that is the worst thing I've read in a long time. I genuinely feel bad for you and hope that your life takes a turn for the better.

I can definitely understand why you would want to seek SSDI benefits. The only thing I would warn you is, if you do get those benefits don't get stuck in a rut. You seem like you were a really decent, driven person at one point in your life. That's been taken from you, but you have to get it back.

About getting stuck in a rut, I mean that if you do get those benefits, you're going to be less driven to seek work. Then of course, if you get a job offer from a place that's only going to give you a similar amount or less than what you're getting on SSDI, what are you going to do? Stay on SSDI. You want to be someone for your kids to look up to in the future when you get to see them again. Laying in bed, depressed, out of work is terrible and will probably shorten your life, too.

Sometimes litigiousness is necessary to keep fuckwits in order.

It sounds like you were slandered, and, as a direct result:
were wrongfully arrested,
lost your job,
spent nearly a year in the poke,
lost your home,
your marriage is shot,
you're having trouble finding work, and
you're such a tatters that you're looking to claim disability.

Lawyer up and show a mutherfucker some consequences.

just a retainer would be more than I could ever hope to get from this person anyways. Yes, it's something I've thought of, but practically, it's not worth it.

Kinda feels like Old Boy... I would go for a lawyer as well. What about NGOs fighting againt unjust trials ? This needs payback, at least for your peace of mind.

A court can authorize wage garnishment.
Sure the fatmouth shit might not have much money, but you can make sure that they never have any money. In fact, all of their expendable income could become yours until you are compensated for damages.

You can take the advice that you should lawyer up and seek vengeance and be stuck in the past or you can see this for what it is: a blessing. You're free! You should have been incarcerated for 10 years? And she recanted it? That never happens. In those 10 years you would have made a single mistake. That added on another year or so. And then it would have spiraled. Life without parole. Life in hell.


But you're fucking free. What the fuck?! Get away from your mom, your ex whore wife, your problems, your comfort zone. Go and climb a goddamn mountain. You're not supposed to ever see a tree again. Go learn how to cook. Learn how to feel your emotions that you would have been denied if you got stuck in that hell hole.

Go be alive and forget the past. You have the future, and you know how much that shit is worth after almost not ever having it.

Legally speaking, OP isn't going to get shit through litigation. The best thing to do is forget your past (beating the shit out of the guy making BS claims is optional) and attempt to get your life back on track.

Self-improvement and whatnot. Go back to school, get a hobby, etc.

Drop the wife (I'm not sure about the whole story, but if she's getting a restraining order based on false accusations, she's probably a bitch)
Get back into the game, learn pickup, it could change your life.

OP what state do you live in?

MA

Truck jobs are a plenty and most company's will pay/remburse you for trucking school. It only take about 3weeks to get your cdl
