Well we are once again fighting with the higher beings! As some of you know Alex accepted a lump sum payment from MCRS in December last year. MCRS has informed us that this payment will be taxed as normal income, which means we lose a third of it. Well I have been doing some research, using all...

hey guys sorry it has been so long, but we have just finished moving house. We are really liking our new life, we live on two and a half acres and we all enjoy it so much more than suburbia. We heard back from MCRS about Alex's compensation payout... They are now using dr Vickery's report to...

I have now decided that Alex's solicitor is the most slack individual I have ever met. When Alex got his payout we paid he $5000 because he told us that if we did that he would cap his costs at that- so it sounded like a good deal. We were also told that doing this would make us priority...

Anthony, I was wondering if you are aware of the changes made to the family law of Australia in July this year with regards to seperated parents... Basically, parents no longer go to court to fight for residency (what used to be called custody) until they have tried to reach an agreement...

Hello everyone I just thought I would share some news with you all. Yesterday was my eldest son Jackson's 2nd birthday. I now understand the comments 'it sems like only yesterday they were born'! It is kind of sad to know that he is growing up... We had a really good day actually. We woke up...

I am so confused right now. Alex has had a new psyche since we moved to Newcastle in June. Apparently this psyche works with a lot of PTSD patients. I have met this new psyche but I have never actually spoken to him. Alex saw this doctor once and the Dr recommended to MCRS that Alex requires 12...

hello to all, sorry it has beena while but our lives have finally settles down... We moved to Newcastle at the beginning of June, literally just before the flood hit! Our car was delivered the day the rain started and it was immersed in water up to the gear stick- it is only just starting to...

Hello all, Just thought you might like to know that Phoenix David Gordon Barber arrived happy and healthy on the 10th of April... I only got home today... Alex and I are over the moon about our beautiful baby and Jackson is in love with his younger brother...

hi all. Just need to get a few things off my chest in regards to our lives lately. I feel the need to tell people a bit of background info first. I am almost 22 years old, I have a beautiful 16 month old baby boy from a previous relationship and another little boy on the way in 3 and a half...

This is going to be another long whine, hope no one minds. For the past four months my younger sister has been in South Australia living with my dad and his girlfriend. While she was away Alex and my Mum got along really well. Now that my sister is back, it's like we don't matter any more. My...

hello again Alex has just been put on a class A pension. From the paperwork I have recieved this means he gets part payment from one company and part from another (one has something to do with super). Apparently this pension is 100% of his army wage... I am confused because to me it would make...

I am writing to ask advice from any one. I have just had the worst two days of my life- at east that's how it seems right now. For those of you who don't know me, I am a full time uni student, a full time mum to a one year old and I am now 18 weeks pregnant again. My partner was discharged from...

I don't know about other partners but I am always being asked "why do you stay?" I sat down and really thought about it one night, and I wrote a poem to explain it. I hope it helps other partners faced with the same question... A runaway train without a working track A cup that fills and...

hello everyone, It has certainly been a while for me. I am embarrassed to admit, I have been having computer problems and didn't know how to fix them. Some of you may remember me; I am the partner of PTSD cohort 18 participant Alex Barber. Those who know me know that when Alex and I started...
