What is the name of your state?Australasia/ Pacific

I believe I have been subject to slander and need to know if I can take legal action a.s.a.p.

Last Dec 04 during intense psychological therapy, memories returned of abuse and forced prostitution nine years ago.

Early this year i dated a close friends ex boyfriend, we are now engaged. In anger, (which i appreciate is deserved to a level),but it is her own guilt seeking revenge as she had been unfaithful, two affairs with married men, throughout the relationship.

I had confided only in her and my therapist, she had been my strength and supported me through months of excessive suicidal tendencies, I had offered support for her, without judgement so our bond was strong.

I never once imagined she would turn as she did. She contacted in person, all my closest friends old & new friends and I've not even seen for months, work collegues, ex partners and my husband to be.

This impacted on me, by then having to tell my family, loved ones and explain to friends, in a state that I have not yet began the proper treatment, I am living my worst fears. She has my life in her hands and she is wanting the down fall of me.

What's an already horrific trauma, has now been portrayed in the worst, most shameful way imaginable. Tales have spread in my buisness district, which is vital for my business with personal relations. Now a buisness in which I have frequent dealings with, have also been wrongly informed. Comments have been made, judgment passed, I shall not be able to return there.

I do have evidence of emotional and mental abuse, nine years ago, physical torment and diganosed severe depression, anxiety & panic attacks with the signs of an abused woman. During in which time i was under anothers persons control.. of life and of will.

Fleeing across the world, my family gave their life savings to me, $5000.00, to get away, to start again. I would not let myself return until I had a career, and could make my parents proud, I will not just be another victim of abusive men.

I worked four jobs each day, with cleaning, nannying, being an administrator to the business I was learning and running the company, alongside studing. Three years later a miricle life time oppurtunity arose in which I brought a small business in the most prestigious and affulent area in the country. I now have large client base for my age, I have become a well known and respected member of the community and my future is bright.

If you could advise me as to how to approach this matter legally or to just walk away,I would be grateful for a reply,

Wendy

:( sorry. Thought this site was for actual advice, I lived in the states, the people I knew were the kind and the first to offer support. I regret bothering.

is this person lying about you or just repeating what you told her about your past?
This person is lying about me. She knows the truth, she even took me to my thearpist on days when I could not face the world. This is what is so shattering, she knows my history, my pain, she knows my weaknesses, she knows, it will kill me.

you may want to consult with a lawyer if what she is saying is actually damaging your business or business reputation.

In Australia they just knock down a couple of Fosters and laugh about stuff like this.

IE. there is nothing we can tell you about what you can or cannot do with your problem in AUSTRALIA.

One bit of advice, though...don't pour your personal problems out to so-called friends and you won't have to deal with their stupidity.

But, who knows...in Australasia it might be a capital offense. ;)

Thank you. I am most grateful for your adice. :)

I shall consult a lawyer here with the knowlege that I may not be wasting their time or my money. I appreciate your effort to advise me in an area in which I have no experience.

Knowledge is power, and I endeavor to learn as much as I can on this matter. I take responseabilty for my actions, as I wish others would.

I refuse to look upon this world in the darkness it has shown me over the years, I will look brightly with a positive attitude, regardless of the outcome over this matter.


:eek:
Thank you

Your advice regarding my 'so-called friends' has been taken on board, thank you. I will remember next time I have a close friend of many many years, not to trust her/ him or fall to peices over some silly incident that took place in AUSTRALIA. Keep it zipped. And have a beer. That's typical advice from a male... and I thought you made a living out of this? :confused:
