Anyone Been Falsely Accused of Abuse of Their Child, Proven Untrue, Yet Still Forced to Vacate the Home?

Question by Tim B: Anyone been falsely accused of abuse of their child, proven untrue, yet still forced to vacate the home?
Child Protection Svs. knows, by my 16 yr old’s own admission that the complaint they were investigating had no merit, but came back again, and then a **3rd time** and accused me of “emotional abuse” because I drink alcohol. My daughter doesn’t want me to drink (I am NOT an abusive person, drinking or not, and a member of AA since 1988), because she doesn’t think it’s “fair” that she entered rehab for drug problems and I still drink. That’s a short version of the story that still continues. Bottom line is that I was forced out of *my* home and threatened with repurcussions if I didn’t enter rehab. I’m currently not allowed to be in my house when my daughter is there, though I’ve never been given any documentation that says so. (Her mother lives there too but we were never married and split up years ago. I invited them to stay with me so that my kid could have some stability, a sense of family, and that’s another story.) Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
