Today, my wannabe psychologist of a brother accused me of lying about all the violence and emotional abuse my ex inflicted on me, all because I went into "too much detail" when describing it, which he says is something only liars do. Thanks for the support. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my brother and I got in a fight and he told my friends that I am mentally disabled. They believed him. Apparently, "everything makes sense now." FML
Today, I've been guilt tripped, ranted at, called names, ostracized and told what a horrible person I am for, "turning my back on family." My former brother is in jail for unspeakable crimes, yet somehow I’m the bad guy for not standing by and supporting him or offering to help pay for a lawyer. FML
Today, I went through my boyfriend’s phone. He'd told his brothers, mom, and mutual friends that I was at a psych ward, after I went crazy. We have been back together for four months now after that situation, so no wonder I got the vibe they hate me. Why lie about something so stupid? FML
Today, at my wedding, my golden child brother gave a speech that was a load of lying shite. He was telling tales of arrests, drug use, sexual antics, the lot. My wife knows it’s not true but her family think I’m scum, and my mother just told me she’s “not angry, just disappointed in me.” FML
Today, my psycho and now ex-girlfriend accused me of cheating on her with my own mother. FML
Today, my brother asked his wife for a divorce, but she got so mad at him that he backtracked and told her it was a prank I'd put him up to. She’s still mad as hell at him, but thanks to his lie my name is now mud in our entire family. I was at work all day, and I did nothing wrong. FML
Today, my brother learned how to fake cry. I've been catching shit for everything I've done and said near him ever since. FML
Today, my brother was telling me about my "sweet" and "pure" ex-girlfriend. Three stab wounds have already proven otherwise. FML
Today, my demented little sister walked up to me and kicked me between the legs. I told my parents, but they just accusingly asked me what I did to provoke her. When I said, "Nothing", they accused me of lying. There is no justice. FML
Today, my now ex-boyfriend accused me of wanting to screw his 11-year-old brother, all because I expressed interest in going to his birthday party. FML

I think your brother should maybe the one to see a psychologist

Your brother probably doesn't want to believe it even happened. It's easier to call someone a liar than to accept the painful truth.

When people don't believe you it's the hardest part. Don't doubt yourself. You will get through it.

That's not really an adequate defense of his actions. He accuses his sister of lying about her abusive boyfriend because it's too painful for HIM to face? I don't think so. Especially when part of the reason most people don't come forward with things like that, is because of fear that people won't believe them. And honestly, the basis he gave for believing she was lying - too much detail - sounds more like the brother is being arrogant and condescending, rather than scared.

Maybe the OP's brother liked the ex and couldn't accept that her ex could do something like that.

Usually when people lie, they go into much more detail then when telling the truth.

#32 and when people tell the truth they also go into too much details otherwise people wouldn't believe them

Seek actual support from a licensed professional, OP, that way you can get things fixed and it wont affect you in the future. Your brother is an insensitive jerk.

That's his way of saying he doesn't care. Just find someone who does if you still need to vent.

Hopefully you can find someone who will listen to you without assuming you're lying.
