Attacks on my business

A brief background: I divorced my husband in the wake of finding out about multiple secret female friends and questionable relationships with them, mounting debt (up to his entire annual income; no explanation where it all went), and him taking my credit card after being expressly asked not to, without telling me, and surprising me with a debt in the thousands put on it in one month.

I run a small business online, a creative, artistic one, that, for three years, had gotten nothing but very high, glowing reviews. About the time the divorce was final, xh flew to the city where several of the women in question live, and shortly after, I got the first negative review ever–from one of these woman, with her name on it. Within 24 hours, there was a second equally negative review, from someone whose only reviews ever, were also posted that same day. Recently, xh has flown out there again and there’s another one. I haven’t read it, but the friend who did says it’s so nasty it borders on personal hate, and once again from someone with almost no other reviews on their account.

I don’t know for a fact, of course, that the 2nd and 3rd negative ones are personal attacks, but it seems from circumstances they might be.

I’m asking for prayers for my strength of mind in dealing with this–it’s incredibly discouraging, wondering if people hate my work that much, making it hard to carry on with what I do, despite the many glowing, flattering reviews and outpouring of love.

I’m feeling like I’m being re-victimized by my ex-husband (and his ‘girlfriends’), for finally standing up for myself against all the things he did to make it impossible to continue in a marriage, even though I gave him every chance in the world, for seven years, to stop what he was doing, and would have forgiven in a heartbeat and put it all behind if he would have just stopped.

I’m asking for prayers for a change of heart on the part of the woman who placed the first reviews, and for the truth to come out, if this is indeed all connected.

I’m asking for prayers that my business would not suffer as a result, as it is helping me support a large family.

Thank you. I know I’ve asked for prayers for this same thing before, and it’s come up again, with his recent trip there. Last time, I felt the peace from the many prayers. Thank you.
 
I’m so sorry. 😦 Will pray for you now and include you in my rosary intentions today. God bless
 
What a terrible situation to be in. I am praying for you and your family.

that’s exactly what i was going to say!

also, op, you’re in my prayers.
Probably won’t do any good. It’s considered free speech and slander is very hard to prove. Go on the offensive. Post a response that explains your position without revealing too much. Bear in mind that others will see your response and positioning your self in such a manner as you are taking the high road will help to restore your reputation. you must take the emotion out of the response. Have some friends or family members read your response objectively before posting.

Another tactic might involve you contacting her and appealing to her sense of decency. Chances are though that might be in short supply.
 
Father Almighty, please give strength, faith and hope and peace to our sister. Ease her pain and suffering. Please protect, guide and guard her in all that she does. Protect and guard her business which supports a large family. I pray Lord God, that the truth is revealed and that whoever is deliberately trying to destroy her business is stopped. Touch the heart,mmind, and soul of her husband. May he realize that any evil thin he does hurts not just her but also You. All these I ask in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Michael. Amen.
 
You will be in my prayers Holyrood. May Our Lady make her intentions in this matter come true. May she protect you under her mantle of love and purity and help you to carry this cross heroically.

Hail Mary…

Amen.
 
Thank you, and asking for continued prayers. I have been told my whole life I’m a strong person and I have been fine through some difficult things, but for the first time today, I started to feel what I think other peope are talking about when they say they have ‘ANXIETY.’
