My family and the sex offender!
When I was divorcing the former Mr Quar my large extended family were nicer to him than ever, having him round for tea, inviting him to weddings, etc.

I couldn't go anywhere without seeing his ugly mug and found it all most hurtful.

Eventually I decided to leave them to it and stopped bothering with the family altogether. This went on for a few months until the family realised that a. they were stuck with the ex, who'd foist himself randomly on them for meals and b. nobody'd seen me for a while.

The ex was given his marching orders and things were smoothed over.

However...

A couple of years later the ex was sent down for 2 years for kiddy-fiddling.
Ah, the hours he'd spent, trusted, in the bosom of my family. I bet they wish they'd kept their noses out now!

10 years later, I'm still the 'slag' and he's the saint. He's at every family function, as my family disbelieves that he could ever possibly, say, lock a person in a basement without food and water for three days.

I've been disowned while he is still the crowned prince of their affections.

He just needs to get arrested...

It's shocking that your ex was a kiddie fiddler, though. You were bloody right to get the hell out.

Yup, there were some red faces when the ex - my family's bestest friend - got sent down!
I knew he'd drop himself in it one day, and he did, quite spectacularly!
They all get cocky sooner or later. Your ex'll do it too.
