Today, my daughter posted a poem on Facebook about how her father and I abused her for years. It's a complete lie and an obvious attempt to impress her boyfriend, whom she thanked for "rescuing" her. I've received several hateful messages already, along with threats to report me to CPS. FML

Calmly sit her down and explain to her that she just lost access to all the devices that have an internet connection in your house, since she obviously can't handle it. No phone, no computer, tablet or whatever else she has - if she wants to earn them back, she gets to do so by volunteering at an organization that helps actual abuse victims.

you should just let cps take her. get her off your hands and then she can experience the true pain of not having a family.

She needs mental help.

Either she's a narcissist or you are. Because, in all honesty, you also posted about it on a social media site (something my own Narcissist mother has done when we've disagreed on something). Get some therapy, it'll help both of you get through this.

I would probably ask the CPS to come and investigate the so-called abuse, this girl has 'suffered' to try shit like that. Obviously you parents are so caring, she felt her life was too boringly normal and had to be extreme to impress a dude. I would probably also discuss with her what real abuse is, teach her about birds and bees and confiscate electronic devices to make her know how wrong she's been as well as make her realize that abuse isn't to be taken lightly. ... Maybe leave stamps, envelopes and paper for letters, so she can contact her friends. But only if I feel bad for her for the three months she'll be stuck with books instead of google for homework.

did she specify in what way she has been being abused?

Do what I do when my kids threaten to call CPS... "Go ahead, I'm sure you'll just love foster care."

It is such an irony that most comments on this FML involve some sort of abuse against the child - YES, CHILD! If her accusations are indeed false (which none of us can really know), then yes, OP and her partner must take action, but if a child makes such accusations just for fun, then obviously something is very wrong and she needs help. Throwing her out of the house or punishing her psysically or emotionally will just make matters worse. For better or for worse, you are her parents! She didn't ask to be born, but you brought her into this world, and that makes her your responcebility! No matter how hard that may seem, being a mom is not a random title: it something you have to live up to.

Are you being abusive? Get the three of you into family therapy and get to the bottom of it. Some abusers are not aware that what they're doing is abusive, especially if they grew up the same way. Others gaslight (which could be what this is about). Even if you aren't, therapy can help you figure out what's going on.
