My Partner suffered a horrid childhood (alcoholic father/physical abuse) and recently informed his family of the truth of the story, and now after many months of no contact, have finally decided to Not believe his Past and basically say he making it up, his imagination as a child was in overload, and therefore he needs to seek more support for this hidious lies of his alcoholic father.

Obviously Partner is fuming and wants to know why they dont believe him, and what happened as through victim support has received compensation but he has never mentioned this to anyone, accept me and we have had 2/3 pretty nice holidays from this, but my partner now wishes to send evidence of compensation, obviously he wouldnt of got anything - without medical physical evidence and psychotherapist assessments and all the therapy he has been through!

thinking this will help??? any opinions on this? he feels it make him feel better as then if they were saying his insane and this way it bit like saying F you muggars!!!!

Wildly missing the point but how do you get compensation without a court case?

You mean his father was convicted but his family still don't believe him?! Fuck, your poor partner.

I don't think the proof would help convince them. His family are utter contemptible fools to disbelieve him, but if they don't believe him there's nothing he can do but move forward with his own life. Letting this go might be the hardest battle he'll ever face, but if your own family don't stand up and protect you in the face of hideous abuse, they're not really family.

His dad died without having liver transplant as he refused to stop drinking. So no court case as such just lots of hospital reports and psychotherapists reports. and police reports of violent behaviour from a youngsters.

NC fail?

If his family were the sort of people to readily accept evidence of the abuse, they would never have let it happen in the first place.
Maybe sending the evidence of compensation will help him to get closure, I don't think it will convince his family, I think they will close their ears to it. I'm really sorry for your DP, it's a terrible situation.
