    General My New Fight with MCRS and the Australian Tax Office

    That's ok Anthony. I have been pretty slack on here to. I rang the ATO yesterday and they daid my letter has been allocated to someone and then I was politely asked not to call them back before the end of the month as they are very busy! I will keep you informed though. And thanks for the...

    General My New Fight with MCRS and the Australian Tax Office

    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...

    General Please Explain

    well I did ask him why he bought it and his reason was so simple... he simply wants to learn more about that type of car!!! Weird! Alex and my Mum are both currently looking for now. They went to this mushroom farm to apply on Tuesday and were told to come back on Thursday to discuss wages and...

    PTSD and Police

    Not sure exactly where you are, but here in Australia, the background check to be a police officer is very thorough. I know that when I was looking into joining the force it stated that you couldn't have had a driving offence, so that cancelled me out straight away. Also, something for you to...

    General Partner Has Started Medication and He's Worse

    When Alex was taking Mohexal, they made him tied all of the time; which didn't help the depression at all. He even got nasty with me for the first time since we'd been together and was too short with the two boys. Eventually he decided to stop taking them as they were really straining our...

    General Please Explain

    Our solicitor is apparently one of the best where we are so for now I will leave it in his hands. I get so frustrated trying to get any sense out of them that I end up yelling and swearing at them, which just makes me look stupid. Cindy, I agree with you that it may just be his 'wanting to...

    General Please Explain

    We have been trying to get hold of his records, but as usual there is a lot of red tape. I did however have some of the information from the Army Dr who discharged him. I also rang around and got the Dr reports from his psyche and social worker in Townsville and I also have a copy of the PTSD...

    General Please Explain

    Thanks guys Our solicitor says our $5000 is running low but because we paid him capped at that unless we have to go to the correct appeals tribunal, we don't have to pay him anything more yet!!! Alex and I are just both so sick of their BULL; but we won't be giving up. Like I said to Alex even...

    General Please Explain

    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...

    General Why Date Someone Who Is Ill?

    This si a very interesting thread indeed! I have just sat here and really thought about why I did start dating Alex... I found Alex had PTSD about 3 weeks before we got together, and I had no idea what that meant and I didn't really care. I fell for Alex because we both loved to laugh. I was...

    General Confused... Again

    Thanks everyone for the replies. I sort of knew that but I think I just needed it to be verified. We got onto this solicitor because Alex's Nan was claiming war widow benefits after Pop died and she had to get a solicitor. While she was talking to im one day she told him about Alex's accident...

    General Confused... Again

    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...

    General Question for Carers - How do I Help My Husband Help Me

    If he is at all interested I would do my bet to get him to join the carers section of this site... I know it has helped me immensely with my partner- just knowing that I am not the only one! Also, just explain to him that you have little to no control over your emotions, especially when...

    General Does Anyone Else Understand??

    Alex is actually pretty good about his family coming here... the only stress we both have is his Nan; as Pop passed away in Feb and this is her first Christmas without him... The rest of Alex's family will probably just eat, drink and leave... Not sure about shitters being a NSW term as I...

    General RED ALERT - Hitting Crisis! The Family is Ruining Everything!

    Hi Bella, I don't mean this to 'dampen your spirits' at all, and I do not know if the same wil happen for you or not but I will tell you my story... Alex found out he had PTSD just before we got together and we did the ptsd course together... during that time I tried to tell all of our family...

    General Does Anyone Else Understand??

    I agree that the men should get together and get us an envious lifestyle... Sounds good to me! Alex has actually put away most of the junk now as his family is coming for dinner on Christmas Eve- thank heavens fro small miracles... And Bella, he also wants to buy a car (a shitter as he calls...

    General Does Anyone Else Understand??

    Thank you Bella, Alex has started collecting what he calls 'antiques' (and I call merely junk cluttering up my home- though I never say that to him). He has come up with an idea to buy these things and then sell them on ebay; and as he has no computer knowledge he needs my help to do that (I...

    General Does Anyone Else Understand??

    Thanks guys, both Alex and I are so relieved at the moment! Anthony, don't worry about not ringing; I know you are having a rough time at present and I don't expect you to put us before your own 'issues'. We still love you... Anyway, I feel as though I am going to collapse so I will sign...

    General Sick After Doc Appointment?

    Dear Jen I am sorry to hear of your hubby's troubles of late; it really never does get better- kick in the teeth for the carers I reckon; but at least we know it is not intentional... I do believe that your husband will make the very best possible effort to spend time with both yourself and...

    General Family Obligations

    I often fin dit amazing how many people on this forum believe in similar things. I agree that as a parent you don't really know what you are getting yourself into until you are there; in fact I was only saying to my Mum the other day that she 'never warned me that labour was the easy part'! I...

    General Changes to Australian Family Law

    I do believe that the half and half approach in regard to parents being in different states is that one parent has the child/ren for 6 months and the other parent has them for the other six months. That is what Wil wanted when he was thinking about staying in QLD; and according tot he mediators...
