This is a hard blog to write and it may be even harder for you to read. As you know my complaint against mon was being processed, she had been stood down pending an investigation and the practice where she works part time employed lawyers to make sure they were doing the right thing. Yesterday I received the news that perhaps as sad as it may be came not unexpectedly. Monica was after seeking legal advice receiving a rap over the knuckles and a youve been a very bad girl dont do again and will retain her job at the practice with a warning. Now i know this sounds weird but i was expecting nothing else but this. Christian organisations are notorious for being inept at dealing with their inadequacies and therefor sweep many things under the carpet.
Of course i took this news quite calmly. This morning i was of course notifying my support team of the events and i said to them that i felt tired. I had so far this two months juggled full time schooling, single parenting, this complaint against mon and my own personal therapy. Yesterday was the start of a two week break and i am needing it. I told my support people that i was too tired to fight this anymore. My support people then said that i had done well but hey were unable to leave this because some of them are professionals in the mental health field and that ethically for them they now were going to battle for the future people that came into her care.
I let them know that i would not stand in their way and nor could i if that is what they had chosen. So mon may walk into that meeting today with a rap over the knuckles but it seems this fight has touched many more hearts than i imagined and in my exhaustion people with far more clout are taking a stand. . Also the therapist who told monica that she was programmed to kill me and i was placed into two weeks of isolation through hiding is a therapist at the same practice who will also receive only a warning. Despite the fact that i have her on record writing on my blog saying that she was going to kill me.

JIP I am so sorry.
I so admire the strength it took to fight this. So proud of you sticking up for yourself. Kudos to your support system for standing behind you!

JIP,
I am so sorry she only got a warning. But I'm glad that it's over, for now anyway. Maybe now others will come forward and she will get more strikes against her. It was awful of them to play you like that.
JIP,
it is so disapointing that the church has not dealt with this appropriately. I understand that you are tired but I hope you wil take the information you have to the tax department. You may not be able to get her as a professional but i have yet to meet a government who will not take a dim view to those who are dodging their tax obligations!
You're right JIP, that was very hard to read. I am sorry.
Also, please try to remember not all Christian organizations are actually Christian because they use the name. Christian organizations that do things according to the Bible are usually quite effective in dealing with things in my experience. Cult members will often utilize "judge not let ye be judged" and "forgive others as you have been forgiven" to their advantage.

Very unsatisfying ending. The one thing I notice is that you were prepared for this decision. Perhaps readying yourself in this regard may help take the sting out. Nonetheless, it is frustrating, to say the least.
It doesn't surprise me either. Hopefully the professionals following through will get farther than this.
Take care of yourself. Enjoy your break and forget about Mon for a while. She's wasted enough of your time.
I am sorry JIP...thinking of you as you process this
Well, I guess I'm not surprised, either. What a bunch of crap! Well, I am glad that others do care about it. And I'm happy that you're going to get a break. I hope you get some much-deserved rest. ((((((JIP))))))
Sadly, Christian organizations do seem to "protect their own" rather than protecting those who are the victims of an unscrupulous group within their system. Just look at the Vatican.
You are very courageous JIP!
I never left a comment before; I just want to let you know, for someone who don't has DID, your blog shows how this condition affects you and I admire you all for sharing your posts with us, thank you!
