So yesterday was meant to be a big day for me, and in a way it still was just not in the way I thought it would turn out to be, as you may know in previous bulletins and blogs I have written I have been building a court case for 7 years now against my father for childhood abuse that he acted towards me and my brother Reece.

My brother died 7 years ago due to suicide, I was devastated.
That was when I knew that I had to do something, I needed to finally tell not just mine but OUR story.
It has been 7 years with evidence being collected because I am now turning 30 in just a few short days It is considered to be historical abuse/evidence, so It can sometimes be hard to gather, I was advised that yesterday I would attend a courtroom in my current state and appear before the magistrates court which is in QLD, due to COVID-19 it has had to be by video link which to me, I hate because it makes me feel somehow less connected to everything.
Anyway, as you may imagine I was so anxious, nervous as I would be appearing before them and have to hear and see my father which is understandably difficult for me with my mental health which has been brought on by him, I have complex PTSD, anxiety, depression disorder, conversion disorder.
And so I got there I was with a support person who was just beautiful so beautiful her name is Sonia and I asked her to come along with me, she happily said she would be there for me, Anyway we were waiting there for hours I was a nervous wreck I felt physically unwell, I was anxious and scared my PTSD was awful.
We were waiting for a call to come through and then instead of the court in my state having the call, it was instead Sonia my support person with the detective who is in charge of my case who received it.
And then we were informed that unforchantly due to new information that has come forth my date to give evidence would need to be changed and that I would have to have a new date, as my mother had apparently given more information to the detective that day and I believe that may have been the cause.
So now I have to wait to hear from her, she said May 24th I should have a date to appear, which the 24th is a day after my birthday. I was devastated I just wanted it over I wanted it to finally get going and to proceed instead I have to wait more time.
All the other witnesses have given their evidence except for me and my mother, so we are the ones left. I'm upset, really upset and mentally drained from all of it.
I'm trying to remain strong but there is only so much that one person can take, nevertheless I started this journey for my brother to get justice and I will continue until we do.
