hey Oney
Just lurking here, but it is much better for a child psychologically if they are more older than younger in school...they do better academically and are more equipped in their teen years to make wise choices...

checking in. First let me say thank you for the good thoughts and support. Means a lot. Believe me.

Met with a friend today who provided the wine for the event and is in the "biz" of culinary abuse (sorry, feeling a little cynical at the moment).

She told me that she got really bad vibes from the client when she delivered the wine and is not surprised in the least that he did this.

I don't know if I mentioned this in my earlier post and forgive me if I did BUT not only did he reverse the profit money from my account. He reversed the WHOLE amount of the event. All of what came out of pocket for me which was to pay staff, rentals, flowers, food, etc. Over 7,000. The bank now told me that they took what was in my account b/c they couldn't recover the whole amount. They said I am in collections for the rest.

I saw red. This guy (the client) stated that he did not recognize the charges on his credit card (liar) therefore it immediately went into the "fraud" category. Now, I have to defend myself that I didn't fradulently charge his credit card. I asked the bank why they didn't notify me and they said that I will receive a letter at the end of the week. I said "why send one now?" where is your loyalty to me as a customer who sends thousands of dollars to your bank on a regular basis?" she kept saying "Maam, that is our policy".

I have to tell you that I am triggered in a personal way here but I will certainly not show it to the bank. I contacted an attorney and he said all of this sounds like it is against the law. He told me to hire him to sue the client directly and also the bank would be beyond what I could afford. He has offered to write 2 letters (one to bank, one to client) at the tune of 500. besides will walk me thru the steps of small claims court. If I get the money back b/c of the power of an attorney's letter, I will pay the 500. Should I take the chance? I am a little person here and although I am full of fire and ready to right the wrong towards me, it seems that an attorney may help me along with those letters.

Sorry to dump on yall. I DO NOT want to contact the client as I feel it will put me in a vulerable state (he sometimes has intimidated me) or I will be unprofessional b/c I am so angry. My gut says let the lawyer take the 500. and I go to court. God, I hate this. Fighting is not my thing but standing up for my rights is another. I am going to add one more thing b/c I know I can speak my mind here. I hope I don't offend anyone w/ my language but this is fucking absurd. They take all of my money from my account on some guy's word and now I have to prove that I have not committed criminal activity? What a bastard. He knew this would hurt me and it did. I am not a vengeful person but I hope I live long enough for this to come back to him. He doesn't want to pay for the event now. Oh My God. How can someone do that? I am angry now and am ready to sue all of them. (anyone see the original movie- The Out of Towners with Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis?) where he wants to sue EVERYONE? that is how I feel- of course, I will be rational but I am pissed.

Sitting outside in this lovely weather and petting my cats. Going to put on some nice music and just "be".

Its a basic councilling course. Going to get the job front sorted first off, and then look into the course. Wish wants to do one too, not in the same thing, but hopefully we can do something together.
