Enter social worker

And not a moment too soon.

We have received the welcome speech from the social worker people, and are now the proud recipients of a brand spanking new (for us) social worker. She rang and we have an appt next Tuesday. This is absolutely the best news we've had for a while.

We're both burnt out with bureaucracy. Last weeks bullshit that saw me in Centrelink 4 times in two days, causing that terrible panic attack on Friday night, was just enough. Have done an online complaint, but other than that it's pointless trying to bash your head against a brick wall. Just can't do it anymore as it's too distressing. Dunno exactly how the social worker could help but no doubt these things will be discussed.

Also this whole disastrous situation is entirely caused by David's work, who discriminated against him because of HIV, forced him out, and now appears to be doing a real number on him. Even to the point it seems of trying to block any payments he can get from Centrelink by lying to them. That, and simply that, is why we find ourselves today in this dilemma. It has created huge stress for David in all this, and he really needs someone to help with the court case. It's even stressful for him just going through the statement being put together by the legal people.

Hopefully the social worker will come with a magic wand, wave it around, and all will be well......
