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: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
