Help required
Hi all.
This is a touchy, hard subject.
As a male, needing a protection order to be safe.
How do I go about this?
I have contacted the community law center and said about my situation, and the reply was they don't think I can do much.
Some background.
My wife and daughter are at logaheads. My wife has suffered what we thought was depression for nearly 8 years and was basically bedroom bound.
Then all of a sudden she went manic and has been sectioned.
She had access to her phone and computer. My daughter and I get constant abuse and threats via these methods.
I rang community law and they said there is not much I can do.
REALLY? If I said or did half of what my partner is doing I am sure she would get immediate help. But I can not get her to stop harressing or abusing either myself or my daughter.
Any suggestions?
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
