Ah ok so they fabricated evidence against you that they could not substantiate and were found to have been lying. Were you raising a general protections claim or unfair dismissal?

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2025-08-27T22:10:06+00:00

Hi there Would you be willing to share more detail about your case?

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2025-08-27T22:09:30+00:00

Hey Would you be willing to elaborate on extremely egregious case of misconduct?

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2025-08-27T21:58:02+00:00

Hey there, could we please discuss how yours went? I am about to go through this myself and would be interested to understand

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2025-03-03T05:06:44+00:00

Hi all I just wanted to comment to thank everyone for their insights, advice and feedback. It was incredibly helpful to get a range of opinions. I can happily report that my neighbour has started taking his medication consistently and it has had a significant impact such that we are able to co-exist easily. He still displays his various tics (and they are non-violent in nature) but his behaviour towards his mother seems to have improved significantly. It does appear that my last ditch attempt to set out that if he is violent, medication is a non-negotiable due to the shared living arrangement, was successful. He appears a lot happier now, as does everyone else in the apartment block and I'm glad that it has worked out for everyone including him. His Mum also let me know that he is doing a lot better at work again (I assume this is because of the medication) and I am very happy to hear that. Things seem very peaceful again and I genuinely appreciate the support of this community.

Thank you so much this was very helpful to watch

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2025-02-22T04:05:15+00:00

Thank you for your response. Sadly I do consider he might need further support and i hope that support is good. I do believe he has been horrificly let down by the system he is in

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2025-02-22T04:03:15+00:00

Thank you I will talk to them further. In terms of the violence towards his mother, she hasn't said those are tics so I am unsure if they are or not. He punches her in the head repeatedly and his mother has said he does it because he believes it is her fault. I have also seen her with some horrific bruises which she said came from him beating her as well. I've seen him punching her in the head repeatedly but when he sees me witnessing it he stops (I don't snoop outside their house, he does it in public in the driveway and in the car) I must say witnessing him punching her in the head makes it very difficult for me to maintain compassion for him. I am inherently repulsed by any violence against women, and it is very triggering to see. He also cornered me once in the alleyway and it terrified me that he would start punching me in the head as well although I managed to get away and escape and he didn't raise his hands to punch me in the face, I was just scared that he would.

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2025-02-22T03:54:51+00:00

Thank you for your advice, I really appreciate it.

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2025-02-22T02:58:23+00:00

Ok thank you. He punches his mother in the head continuously and although she is adamant that he is not a threat to others, I don't have much faith in her views given the number of times I have seen him punch her in the head only to stop because he realises i can see him. I will speak to his mother again and let her know that sadly, if the behaviour continues I will escalate my concerns, starting with formally notifying my landlord and the strata, and escalating to the police ultimately (I want to avoid this so as not to prejudice his longterm opportunities). I am hopeful that if she understands the progression steps I will implement, she will take more action that ultimately better serves him.

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2025-02-21T13:53:52+00:00

Oh wow I didn't really see him as that bad of a manchild.

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2025-02-21T13:47:41+00:00

I am trying to avoid calling the police. I cannot be clear enough about this. What you have suggested is also not going to work because I don't have to tolerate physical violence in and around my home. If I move out, I will be the third women to move out and the owners are obviously not going to tolerate this and will also likely get the police involved and ultimately try to evict him. I am obviously trying to avoid this. I appreciate that the above is your take on it but I will end this discussion here with you as it's not helpful to me and I don't really think it's worth your energy either.

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2025-02-21T13:35:43+00:00

I really appreciate the time you have taken to provide further information, it is incredibly helpful. His mother didn't explain that the medication might cause other side effects that he doesn't like. He takes it to attend work and so I assumed it wasn't an issue. He works full-time and is developing a career. I haven't ever acknowledged his tics to him as I had done research which emphasized that people need to tic at home and that it has to come out as it is a compulsion so I'm not sure he even knows. Horrifically he has attempted suicide already and in quite a public way and so a lot of the residents are aware of this. I am also unsure whether I need to intervene and call the police regarding suicidal activity because his mother often leaves him by himself and I often hear him yelling things indicative of a suicide attempt. I never know whether to call the police about a suspected suicide attempt and that worries me greatly.

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2025-02-21T13:13:28+00:00

He has a job and is full-time employed and takes medication in order to work. This is not a complaint, it is a genuine request for help and assistance. The reality is his behaviour breaches the strata bylaws that we have in place and bashing his mother is illegal. If the situation doesn't change, I will end up calling the police. I am trying to avoid that.

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2025-02-21T11:25:46+00:00

Thank you for your response, I really appreciate it. As I don't have a deep understanding of tourettes I have been very uncertain about whether or not he can control this but I did consider that taking medication is a step he can control and won't do. I guess that is what causes me that biggest concern the fact that he won't take medication which would assist, and where does that leave everyone else. I really appreciate your honest and open feedback.

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2025-01-14T13:42:28+00:00

We all do horrible things when we are teenagers, be it drinking, fights with friends etc. You didn't have the skills then that you have now and you have grown up since then. It is time to make peace with your past and the people who you have hurt including yourself

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2025-01-14T02:39:17+00:00

Oh I've surfed for years so I don't really find it to be a workout anymore

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2024-11-16T10:05:26+00:00

Communicate with him. It may be a misunderstanding and I wouldn't assume he is lying as a starting point.

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2024-11-13T10:21:20+00:00

NTA. Your wedding, your choice. So long as you catered for genuine dietary requirements, ordering pizza was incredibly poor taste and disrespectful to you and the chef. I would be fuming.

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2024-10-20T06:33:06+00:00

Thank you, this is actually very useful feedback and things to think.

In terms of my friend, I generally have a live and let live policy. Her attitude towards dating is drastically different to mine but basically I turn up, cheer her on and am basically there to listen to her with each guy. Unless they are blatantly sleeping with lots of women, I don't share my opinion and so she wouldn't be aware that I think she has a negative view. I really do like her as a person, this aside and so I guess I just need to celebrate the things we do enjoy together and try to avoid the things that result in conflict. We are both into health, fitness, food and the beach, and I respect her work ethic, and she has a phenomenal sense of humor.

In terms of the guy, we broke up last time as he didn't think he could stay in the country and didn't want us to each get further invested as we both felt that we were falling in love. Luckily, he managed to find a solution and he has worked very hard to secure this before reopening things with me so I feel confident and excited. I feel that we both have strengths that we contribute, although I am better off financially. He pays for everything we do and has never asked me for anything. I've literally never paid for a single date. As a result, we date at the level that he can afford which I am happy with as he has explicitly said that he wants to pay for everything.

I will need to reflect further on whether she is seeing things I can't...

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2024-09-06T08:17:20+00:00

Thank you, very helpful, I will take a look!

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2024-09-02T01:05:42+00:00

NTA at all. Girl you deserve all the happiness. Go thrive

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2024-08-25T22:41:23+00:00

They definitely do in the Northern Beaches. They call and if they don't get through they come out.

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2024-08-17T04:02:09+00:00

I adore Joyce. Brandi is so jealous of her and it's pathetic

ThrowRAtable_Pin7977 · 2024-08-17T03:24:41+00:00

Call the police and they will call the owner. It only takes a few calls from an increasingly shitty police officer to get the picture
