It's been a really stressful time in the last 18 months, started October 2010 when my girlfriend had a miscarriage, which really knocked us both for six. Then in February 2011 I was arrested because someone had taken something that one of my ex's kids had said the wrong way. To cut a long painful story short it turned out to be Nappy Changing / Cleaning that someone had twisted to something sick.

When I was arrested my son was placed into 72 hr Police Protective Custody and I didn't know what was going to happen, he was away for 3 days and given everything that had happened I was suicidal, I was dragged my my girlfriend to the doctors the morning after I got arrested and was placed on Prozac...which I am on to date. I remember literally crying constantly for about 3 days until I got news that he was coming back home

Well I was released on Bail even after it came out but they had taken all my computer stuff and wanted to check before they would drop everything. However part of the bail condition was that I wasn't allowed to be left alone with my own son!!!
 
Anyway they finished all there checks, Luckily Social Services were on my side saying it should have never have gotten to where it had but the police have to investigate. Anyway everything was dropped I was given an apology but the damage had been done, I went into Counseling and was put on Prozac which I am still on to date. In April I had the final courtcase for my son as during all this I had been attempting to get custody which in itself is hard enough for a man to get but having gone through all that...well it was a lot to deal with.

My Counseling really helped and I know between the counseling, girlfriend and of course my son I would not have gotten through all that.

So that was October 2010 - October 2011

My landlord decided late October / early november that we had 2 months to find somewhere new to live. Well with the climate like it is at the moment rent here is a huge issue. Currently we are private letting and the rent is £775 (although the landlord wants to put up the rent yet again) the council will not help because they using old information and will only help up to a maximum of £775 so therefore cannot look at any places more than £775.

We put our names down on the housing list in October, however are informed that there is a backlog of applicants at the moment, too top that off there is 1 person dealing with them and it's not his regular job.

We had to actually be out of this place on the 10th November....however because the council are still dealing with our now homeless application we have to wait for them to finish the checks and then give us a place to live.

So there maybe a time before the end of the month that I am going be offline while I get Virgin Media moved over to my new address and everything setup. Now the stress for everything is building up again not knowing where I'm going to be living come February and knowing I could be told any day I have to move.

I am trying to not let it come through on a lot of things however there are times I may be distant or snappy and I just wanted to say that there is nothing meant by it.


Hopefully everything will be resolved soon one way or another and I can once again move on I just wanted to get a few things off my chest because I don't talk about them since counseling finished for obvious reason it's not nice to be accused of something like that especially when YOU know you've done nothing wrong.
