Yesterday i received the news id been partly waiting for. Acantha has now resigned her post at where she was counselling. Although im relived that this si the case there is also a rising anger of the system that told me to get stuffed. And in the end i had no choice but to take my case to people who chose to listen and work through the evidence. The letter i received from her previous employer was almost like see you've got your way shes gone now go away yourself. It was a letter more of my own dismissal, like im a annoying bug and now that ive got what i wanted they are shooing me away. But the issue is not that Acantha has been forced to resign the issue is why they chose to do nothing in the first place, and if i cant get reasonable answers from them on that one then i will simply go to a high flying lawyer and get it \another way.
I guess id already decided that when Acantha admitted that she took my possessions that i would seek personal compensation so now it depends on how far this goes. I already know that my case is certainly a winner but its how far i want to take this to prove a point.
On the flip side we were saying yesterday to Rachel that we still sit amazed that not one but two independent panels of psychologists, psychiatrists and counsellors were able to see beyond Acanthas bullshit of shes just a multiple and you know what they are like, to making a decision based upon fact. That wether they believe in multiplicity or they dont they still reached the same conclusion what Acantha did to me was and is justified in them derigistering her. In many times throughout this journey ive wondered if i was making the right decision at times we got really scared especially when she was bringing her lawyers in to read our previous blog. I felt like we didn't have The money to fight her with a lawyer and we had to put up with stuff and just wait. But the waiting was nerve racking. No one talked to us about when a final decision might be reached and each time we asked we received a kurt shut up and wait. So in many ways we felt partially violated all over again. Whilst acanthas life went on and she continued to counsel and place others in danger we had to prove why she was a danger to society, and yet more victims were at her prey.
I suppose we should feel elated but i dont i feel sad that we lost so many years of our life and no one can get that back. We are sad that we didnt see through her long before we did and we are sad that we still have times when someone will say something and the system will freeze because its her words her voice her issues. I also am amazed at how far you can go when you lose the toxic people in your life. For us it wasnt just Acantha it was the ex as well. Suddenly the load is so much lighter when you arent carrying such a heavy weight. Its almost like the haters have to go in order for you to move on.
For us moving on involved healing and getting a new life. For others it might mean something else. Recently we visited our birth family and this time spent quality time with them and that has raised its own issues far beyond whats going on here, but we will will save that for the next blog.

ReplyDeleteThinking of you Sa'de...words can't express the depths of sorrow we feel for each of you.
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo. I am so glad she quit. I would have preferred she was fired, but maybe she quit at the threat of being fired. Either way, you did an awesome job!
