Back in the Summer of 2007, my husband and I separated because he was becoming more and more mentally unstable ... to the point where he got violent with me. I called the police and - with their help - kicked my husband to the curb.

I've since discovered that he is telling people that he is the victim, and that he wants his revenge. To that end, he has started telling people that I treated him badly; he *conveniently* leaves out the fact that he has hit and choked me on more than one occasion. He vows that if he were to bump into me (we live only 20 minutes away from one another), he would humiliate me in public by calling me names, throwing things at me, roughing me up, and so on. Unfortunately, people are taking him seriously, and I am concerned that my reputation is at stake.

Can something be done before he smears my reputation?

There is not a lot you can do. When a divorce occurs, it is not uncommon for both spouses to try to paint themselves as the victim to third parties. Look at your own post, where you are trying to say that it is you and not him who is the victim. Your best bet is to take the high road and the truth will likely come out in the end.
