Feeling really low at the moment, still the same about having the cancer. I having to put up with a load of rubbish from someone who I was making furniture with, well it was me making it he just spent about 5 hours per week if that, I've told him I'm stopping making any more. As it was getting to much. So I've asked him to leave the workshop and take his things with him by Christmas.. But he keeps making stuff with a friend of his. The time was to take a lot of timber and tools out. He thinks he can do as he pleases, he's using the name that was ours he owes me money . Also taken things that are not just he's all this and the cancer and struggle with ptsd, it's all getting a bit to much. Just don't know why everything seems to go wrong for me and my partner and why people seem to take the p.. S out of me. Just don't know which way to turn its getting harder to deal with. I'm really sorry for the rant but nowhere else to say hope folk don't mind. thanks
Hello Mark, nothing wrong in having a rant, it clears the mind. When things go mishapen, nothing ever seems to be right and there is nowhere to turn. People don't understand PTSD, l don't but l empathise with people who suffer this very dibilitating trauma. Have you tried getting some free legal advice from The Citizen's Advice Bureau. It may also help to make and keep a record of what happens. You have taken the right action in asking him to leave but do keep a record. I hope that someone in our community will have some proper advice but in the meantime, keep ranting, don't give up, "keep b*****ing on." I am thing of you. Suffolkflyer.
You are more than welcome. You are never alone.
Hi Mark24682744. I'm not from this group but just noticed your post. It might be an idea to ask a question on the Ask the Expert section, they should be able to offer some advice. You could also take a look at Help with work or you could phone the Macmillan Support Helpline, freephone number shown below.
I've not been in your particular position but it must be hard to cope with a person like this when you're at a pretty low ebb anyway.
I hope you get some results, sending hugs, B xx
