From a new life in spain, to an old life in britain, 'roaming brit' documents uncertain times!

Picture

On 31st January 2016, my partner and I left Southampton to start a new life as Expats in Gran Alacant, on the Costa Blanca. This blog will document our journey, as we navigate the Spanish system, travelling a path untried and untested. With Brexit looming, political turmoil in Europe and an unpredictable future, harsh decisions have to be made. Illness, family bonds and a Change of heart all make for challenging times in a life of a 'Roaming Brit!'

Shameful Acts!

After over a year, I am able to finally speak the truth about what happened to me, whilst working for the largest UK charity.  My boss Veronica was and still is a Sociopath.  She ignored every Heath and Safety issue going.  She endangered my life and that of vulnerable people under her Management.  When I complained about the  way others were being treated, she started to attack me with lies .  In all probability, this dreadful excuse for a human being has been acting dangerously for quite a while, years in fact.  What she has done and continues to do, is known, yet nothing is done about it.  She has been left in place, endangering anyone who works within her Area.

I was taken out of work because of illness.  Illness bought on by a direct campaign of abuse and lies.  I was offered guidance by someone, who said she was working at the highest level, within my Head Office.  She had been protecting me and looking out for my interests.  This was denied, by those she claimed to work for.  Her partner was a psychologist, although I have no direct proof of this.  He spoke with me at length, offering support.  Once again his involvement was not clear and when confronted, was unable to substantiate who or what he was.

I was given no direct help by my employer, who could not admit what was going on.  I had transcripts of texts and conversations, showing just how abhorrent these people were, my boss, a colleague who offered support and her partner, all of whom were instrumental in causing great harm, both physically and mentally to myself.

I took advice from various charities, helplines and lawyers.  All of whom, came to the same conclusion.  They were probably all sociopathic and not only used me, but other colleagues to further their own ends, game playing and distasteful acts of abuse.  I was told to leave my job, home and Country, travel as far away as I could and to never go back.  I now live in a foreign Country, because of these horrendous people.  I am rebuilding my life, I am happy and no longer suffering from their abuse!

These people should be bought to account for their actions.  My ex employer does not seem to care, or have the willpower to do anything.  They have left me and other good colleagues to suffer, every single day.  All of us are victims of systematic abuse, yet a charity, yes a charity, the biggest charity, did nothing,  In many cases it even sanctioned what was going on.

My life was in danger and you ignored that.  I promise you, I will do everything in my power, now, to bring you all to book. You didn't even offer a letter of apology, as you promised.  I left your employment with nothing, to save my sanity and you made sure I didn't receive a penny.  I have not forgotten this sorry episode and will now work with whoever I am able, to make sure you see the error of your ways,  

There is no place in society for sociopaths, they should be dealt with!

I don´t think anyone will fully understand what you  feel like as a person, after going through what I endured.  You reach your lowest ebb and it does feel like you are on your own.  Of course you are not on your own at all, far from it.  Someone like Veronica, has done to others, what she has most recently been doing to me.  When I look back, I am now fully aware of all those that she had abused.  All of them were vulnerable in some way, whether through illness, age or learning disability.

She was able to use others who worked for her, as her accomplices.  Whether she made up lies or just groomed her 'apaths' for her own ends, I don't know.  What I will say, is they were instrumental in the violation of not only myself, but others too. Henry and Suzie, two low lives, poor excuses and liars, who were used by Veronica to do her dirty work.  Once again my Head Office were well aware of what was going on.  They wriggled and squirmed for over a year as they tried to deny and get out of responsibility, for their and their staffs actions.  The only interest they had, was protecting the reputation of a charity, that was discredited and should be investigated for the most destructive, disgusting and dangerous behaviour, I have ever witnessed.

I had been suffering for a while, at least two years and probably far longer.  When I tried to get the truth and answers to what had happened to me, I constantly came up against a brick wall.  I was told I would never know the full truth, the extent of those involved  or the length of time this had gone on for.  So the victim, the person who was used and abused, who's life was in danger, would never be allowed to know the truth. These were the type of people I was dealing with.
​
The hardest part for me, was explaining to others what had happening and exactly what was going on in my life.  Most people had never heard of the word Sociopath. Like me it was something, I had never or ever want to deal with again.  These people are Psychopaths in all but name.  They exist on the fringes of society and no one wants to admit they are one, let alone an employer admitting they have one or more working for them.  An employer would have to have complete, concrete evidence against an employee, before they pursued a case against someone, if not they risk reprisal action against themselves, which is why I was convulsed and deteriorated so much.  I was expendable, in my employers eyes and would cause far less damage than a deranged sociopathic Manager out for revenge!

For over a year I was left to fend for myself.  I was given no direct help or advice from my employer.  In reality, they tried to offload all responsibility.  It wasn't until I began talking to those in the know, including charities like 'Mind' that I finally realised what was going on.  Realisation is a hard thing to deal with.  It causes shock, post traumatic stress, illness and collapse.  Remember, I had to find out the information myself or was given it by someone who claimed to be someone she probably wasn't, working at Head Office in a secret capacity.  I am not even sure, she even knew who she was,  In all probability this person is also a Sociopath.

I suppose the worst thing of all, is just how other work colleagues react.  I was not the only person who was attacked, there were others.  One of which knew what was going on and was a great source of support and inspiration.  Another colleague, who  was living with us, although  he suffered in a similar way, in the end turned his back on me, just as others had done.  They knew exactly what was going on, yet didn't want to become the next victim, so blocked out the truth!

I don't lame these people for their inaction, as no one wants to become a victim.  What does incense me more than anything, is the people that turned their backs, were supposedly good, charitable people, working tirelessly to help others, yet when a colleague needed help, they could not have cared less and in some cases were instrumental in helping a sociopath cause  mayhem and wreak havoc upon our region. Not only was this woman trying to destroy people, but she was also sabotaging our area, by misappropriation of funds, responsible for continued falling income and spending so much time, trying to cause destruction,  that she forgot to Manage the shops she was responsible for.  She was never at work, nobody knew where she was and was never contactable.  

This person is still in charge of twenty Managers and 700 vulnerable volunteers, yet remains in situ.  I suppose my ex employer is waiting for something even more serious to happen, to then have enough evidence to force her out.  There were too many middle class employees at Head Office, living in the most expensive part of Britain, protecting their lives and incomes, to care about dealing with some of the most destructive influences in their back yard.  This is shameful at the very least, dangerous and life threatening at worst, but for me, shocking and something I will live with forever.

​Just over a year later, I now have to decide what to do.  This is something I have already made a decision about, although will not be publishing on  here.  At the moment I have been collecting all the evidence together.  The evidence I have, was looked at by a professional, a few months ago, who agreed there should be an investigation, so I know the truth is in there.  I just have to make a choice about how and when to present the details and to whom it would be most appropriate to show. Over the next few months I will be making a final decision as to what direction I take.  

As ever, all your comments are always welcome!

​Peace and love, always! x

    A place to call home
    Finally, a place we can call home.  A community of like minded individuals, who used to call Britain home.  Now Spain is our choice, an altogether gentler, happier, sunnier and safer experience!
