Friday Coffee and Chat -- 8th August 2025

@PeppyPatti Good morning. How are you today? I’m really sorry that this “volunteer” has stirred trouble for you.

No one can make you leave your home. You are safe there and it’s a permanent home for you.

Im really glad you reached out here to talk. Having people around to talk to is really important. I was asleep last night and am just seeing your messages now.

@PeppyPatti As others have said we are all standing here behind you. You are not alone in what you are going through.

Sometimes people like that gossip and spread lies. Most people don’t even believe them.

We believe you and know that you are a really beautiful person who cares about your community and supports vulnerable people too.

@PeppyPatti I’m really glad you did go out for dinner last night. You are a very intelligent person and articulate this issue really well. You are also a very talented artist. I loved the painting you uploaded recently.

My goodness, this all so much for you to go through, isn't it? You are a lovely, supportive human who deserves respect and kindness. I am sorry you have been treated this way and I am glad to see our community supporting you so much. You're definitely not alone in this @PeppyPatti.

How are you feeling today? 💛

I'm okay @AuntGlow .....truthfully I am just very relieved that some food things gave come out of the letter in the long run and

The volunteer -- well the people she gathered around her who live here - in my eyes are quite aggressive and their personalities are not who I want to associate with anyway. It's a growth thing @AuntGlow you reminded me to feel it in my body or you may have alluded to it or something and it helped me.

It has also pushed the boundaries thing @AuntGlow --- what I will not tolerate in my life. It took a long time to get here.

This one particular volunteer/ lady. She with money for holidays and owns her home in a very expensive area - studied to be a lawyer is still not special enough to catch ego and use it against people who are vulnerable

I am so glad you are able to listen to your body, know what does/doesn't feel safe, and work towards setting boundaries to protect yourself - that's huge! @PeppyPatti

I really appreciate you sharing all of this with us. How are you feeling now? 💛

It's been a nightmare @AuntGlow

For the first month - my fellow resident was crying and hugging me that someone cared.

Then the fallout happened.

She was being spontaneously harassed by these two volunteers - for 3 weeks - harrassment then made to sign letters rejecting my letter but I had already alerted the authorities about that.

I tried to allow her to have a lot of space but I ended up calling another volunteer and she got support

Today I was verbally abused by someone in the local council - it is a political manoeuver --

I need to step away.

I called Department communities to ask for a social worker - so she has someone she can talk to.

One of those volunteers telephoned people where I live and verbally slandered me.

Told a community committee here she never thought I had the brains to write to The member of parliament

Aware of a political manoeuver - to their benefit.

IV learned learned

Thankyou for your touchstones

@tyme thanks. I haven't seen my therapist for about 3 weeks because she's has been very ill.

My husband and I are getting closer. Respect

I guess I need to own my

- head doesn't get all spinny when I see a therapist every week.

Bit embarrassing .....

@NightFury @Cuddlebear @Bunniekins @TAB @Ru-bee @Jynx @ENKELI @Glisten @tyme @Shaz51 @ArraDreaming

Always here for you @PeppyPatti - this truly sounds like so much to manage... being verbally slandered or harassed isn't at all okay. I know you have had some of your concerns addressed, which is really positive.

Do you have other people in your close circle who have been able to show up for you this week? 💛

Dear @AuntGlow

I thought of you today whilst recovering from being confronted by scammy Council Deputy Heads.

i just feel so naive-

, I feel like crying all the time. It's shocking how easily authorities manipulate a lawyer to work for free. They ignore how this lawyer treats others, all for political show, and don't care about the real harm it causes.

I'm letting it go now ....

You've helped me.

I feel supported by all..... @Shaz51 @Cuddlebear @tyme @NightFury @AuntGlow @rav3n
