Today is a very good news day.
After battling for seven years my husband took his employers (a large public body) to an Employment Tribunal.
During that time my husband has suffered from severe bouts of depression, ill health and it has affected seven years of my children's family life.
His depression was so bad that on at least two occasions our marriage almost ended.
A three-day hearing took place in July.
And today he heard he had won.
I cannot express what relief I feel.
But as many of you have folllowed me during the darker days and left messages of support (even though I couldn't say what was happening) I wanted to share my joy with you.
And if anyone is fighting an uphill struggle against unjust employers then keep the faith.
Miracles can, and do happen.
Today I wore:
Tan boots - Dorothy Perkins
Stone skirt - Gap
Stone Bag - Wallis
T-shirt - Gap
Cardigan - Zara
congrads Jane and family :) I am so glad the issue has been worked out legally, and now I hope in your personal lives you can sort this out and get over what this has done to all of you. I hope things from here out are better for your whole family!
ReplyDeleteThe skirt and cardigan are adorable :)
Congratulations! That is amazingly good news and what a nice resolution after 7 years of difficulties.

I'm so happy for you all, especially for your husband. It must have been such a terrible time! But as you've just experienced, there is justice after all. From now on everything is only on the way up! It's time to celebrate. All the best to your great family! Ciao. A.

ReplyDelete7 years is a long time! Great news that your husband has triumphed and justice has been served, I hope he can start to live life again and your family can relax and enjoy him :-)
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is great too - your best accessory of the week so far, your smile :-)
I can only imagine the joy vindication by justice gives. I'm very pleased for you and your family. The strain sounds horrendous and I hope the relief repairs it all.

How wonderful for you all, Jane. A three day hearing... that alone must have been intense.
ReplyDeleteThose are good news :) Hope that from now on you can leave that behind and have happy new life.
ReplyDeleteThat's great news indeed! I'm so happy for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your support. We now have to wait for another hearing to decide damages but that is so unimportant. My husband has been proved right - and that is all that matters!
ReplyDeleteMeli - thanks for the tip!
This bring so much happiness to my heart for you and your family. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, that sounds like a huge ordeal.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your husband and your family, and I hope that it will be a huge relief to have this struggle behind you!
That's wonderful news! Having experiences both personal and with depressive family members, I know how hard it is to deal with. All the best to your husband and your whole family!
ReplyDeleteI also love the color of this wrap!
(btw, I've experienced some trouble with commenting on your blog, it often tells me there are problems with my open ID... do you have any idea why that is?)
Happy news! I always like to hear a happy ending - even if it did take too long.
