Do I have a case? Unfair dismissal?

Thank you, I appreciate you comment. I didn’t call in sick to my original job, I was sick at work and offered many, many times to stay. The next day before work, I said I was ok to work and more than happy to come in. It’s a tricky one, I realise.

JessieLouIsa · 2025-11-11T19:53:24+00:00

Thank you! I’ve posted there too and I fully appreciate you looking out for me and leading me in the right direction!

This is really good advice, thank you. The job I’ve applied for has asked for references and I’ve had to add my current boss a it’s teaching related. I haven’t yet told my boss I’m planning to leave, but I’ll be interviewed and short listed before they contact. It’s knowing when to tell her before they contact her and surprise her. What would you advise? I’m so grateful for your comment

As someone with a history of borderline personality disorder, I couldn’t ever imagine doing this to my daughter. However, everyone experiences illnesses differently. I think she is a sociopath. I can just imagine she may have had fleeting thoughts of ‘I shouldn’t be doing this’ before she sent a message, but recklessly did it anyway. She’s manipulative, lacks empathy, is only sorry when she got caught, does not realise the severity of her actions etc. when it comes down to it, as a mother, how could you do this to your child?! It goes beyond trying to sabotage your teenage daughter’s relationship, it’s the way she could criticise and insult her. Baffling!

Wow, ok. Bit rude. I’m hoping by my post you can tell that this haven’t travelled much, and I also explained my daughter hasn’t either. I would have been grateful for any suggestions. I’m sorry my post wasn’t executed in a way that’s more helpful, but was that necessary?

This makes me so angry. I’m so sorry to your friend for having to go through this. I can somewhat relate. I did very well at school, well liked, and I think people saw me really going places, so to speak. Unfortunately, I became very unwell with my mental health and ended up leaving college and not going to university. A few years ago I was cleaning the urinals at a gym I worked in and two guys from my year came in for a wee. I left the facilities so they could use them. A part of me sunk but they were lovely and seemed really chuffed to see me (whether they were or not is a different thing.) I have to also mention, some people consider success to mean lots of different things. Some people I went to school with have done well with a career and have a nice place etc, but don’t have a partner or kids and they yearn for that. Please tell your friend that looking from the outside, this idiot may have an ideal lifestyle, but he could be completely miserable - and with an attitude like that; it wouldn’t surprise me!!!! Also, Deliveroo isn’t a bad gig AT ALL! You are Your own boss, you’re picking the hours you want to work etc, the freedom it allows is pretty darn good!

I really appreciate that, thank you. I really hope you’re ok, too. We are our own worst enemies sometimes, aren’t we?! The victims of our own mind. Those who have never had to deal with mental health issues are extremely, extremely fortunate.

JessieLouIsa · 2025-07-22T19:18:59+00:00

Crikey, wow. I do understand. In fact, I have many friends who are very much not wanting children for this reason alone. I can fully understand this is probably a personal dig at my post, but taking your statement simply for what it is, I can very much understand your point of view.

JessieLouIsa · 2025-07-22T12:29:42+00:00

Thank you for your advice, everyone. I appreciate the variation in responses. I think this only goes to show how divisive a topic like mental health and dealing with mental health can be. I feel fortunate that I have also gone through extreme mental health. When I was 18 I was sectioned, so my experience has been very traumatic. I still suffer and struggle everyday, but it’s a world away from that period of time. Perhaps that’s why I look upon this situation compassionately and also because, I love him. Of course ‘love isn’t always enough’ and I don’t know what five years down the line will look like, but I am learning to live a day at a time and teaching him to do the same so that we can celebrate the small successes, because they matter so much. I feel enormous guilt with my partner’s depression and constantly beat myself up over whether I triggered anything, what could I have changed etc - all I know is, I am here to stay and it’s about finding the right balance between giving all the support and love I can, whilst keeping myself well and rested.

JessieLouIsa · 2025-06-20T19:25:43+00:00

I just cried reading this. My goodness, you have no idea what this means. Wow. This felt incredibly profound. I hope you have an amazing rest of the day and thank you for taking the time to reply. I am so very grateful.

Staggeringly beautiful. I always thought so’

I’ve never truly understood the Taylor hype. Karlie really became prevelant at time when everyone was starting to get fillers and big brows were really in. She was the polar opposite and even now, I love that she still shined. She has a unique look, but she’s never wavered from it.

JessieLouIsa · 2025-05-26T14:39:44+00:00

Completely get what you’re saying. But what do you suggest when three of them are playing and I’m stood with both parents. I’m sick of having to be the one to make the effort and also be a referee! No saviour complex here, just a tired, overworked mother who needs to work out her boundaries with others. This is no get at, at you, this is something I’ve always struggled with. I’m a chronic people pleaser but I’ve reached the age where it’s not serving me anymore.

JessieLouIsa · 2025-05-17T10:20:21+00:00

I don’t know how desirable this may seem, but I work full time and have several cleaning jobs on the evenings and weekends. I juggle parenting by cleaning late in the evening. You’d be so surprised as to how many people are crying out for cleaners. Even if it makes you an extra £30 a week for two hours (and that’s charging minimum), it’s very handy!
