I'm about to lose my house, I haven't been able to work for three years because of an unidentified breakdown of skin on my hands and severe depression and possible undiagnosed schizophrenia/personality disorder, psychosocial maladaption, my gp won't support my tpd claim with GESB, my superannuation and I think my sons would be better off eithout me, at least I can leave them my home. I have no family, friends or social contacts for years now. 

 

My mother is a narcissistic megalomaniac who is violent, aggressive, abusive and coercively controlling, if I could sue her I would. All four of her children are unemployable, without relationships and in poverty, all on disability payments while she ponces around like royalty, deluded, in her stable home she battered her now deceased third husband into giving her.

 

In a few weeks I will have money from the sale of my home and nowhere to go - itinerant. Accessing my tpd insurance and early super would change that but the "system" is watching me fall through the cracks and thinking nothing of it, only after will they lookback. I am living proof - a red flag - ignored.

 

Bias, presumption and judgement have clouded my gp's decision making, the specialists are no different and there is no mental health support out there at all.

 

This is the system broken.

 

Only when it's too late, someone might consider what else could have been done. With all this right in front of their eyes, as clear as the nose on their face, only when it's over might they reconsider their poor decisions. Too late. Learn now!

 

I have been using medicinal drugs and it's made things worse - a big step backward for its efficacy, not to mention the social stigma and isolation.

 

I have not left my home nor seen anyone for years now, sleeping on my couch, temporary, on the way out, with a biological family revelling in the drama and my demise. Can you sue parents? My mother's gp has carved her up but never treated her twisted, abusive, controlling, perverted and angry nature, well hidden in short consultations.

 

Despite contacts with services and waiting lists for assessment, I am just one person of millions. I have lost everything and see a future of more loneliness and suffering. I convince myself selling my home and starting again is better than ending it. An itinerant. What's the difference.

Hi, welcome

 

Sorry to hear of your situation. Firstly, it isnt worth suing your mother, it is not legally worth the cost and highly likely she wont get punished and you'll be awarded costs on both sides.

 

You said you will have some money from the sale of your home. Can I suggest you look into buying a caravan? Or if you cant tow, a campervan of the size you are licenced for with sufficient comfort. We do caravanning for holidays and there is many many people doing it. There is free or low cost camping available so it isnt expensive and nowadays even washing machines weigh only 3-6 kgs. Also you can travel around and meet heaps of people or be secluded in your ride, whatever you want.

 

Wikicamps costs $10 - a one off payment that gives you an app that lists all camping places throughout Australia. Everyone has it that camps.

 

I hope that helps.

Hey One_More_Day,

 

Thank you for sharing. It sounds like there's a lot of instability going on for you right now, and it can feel so disheartening when it feels as though you are slipping through the cracks despite asking for help.

You deserve support to get through this. If you'd like to give our counsellors a call on 1300 22 4636, they can help you to work out how to get a bit more support. Lifeline (13 11 14) are also really good to talk to about safety planning, too, if ever you need.

 

While it sounds like you have looked at a bunch of resources, we also recommend checking out AskIzzy (https://askizzy.org.au/) – a really useful site for finding local support. 

 

We are here for you, One_More_Day. Please feel free to let us know how things are going for you today if you like. 

 

Kind Regards,
