Would you take a small business to court?
a couple of years ago, 500 was not really a lot of money . Like I could cover it back in a couple of weeks. today it is. I've deliberately taken a year to work on my transition and health both mental and physical. I'll talk to my very litigant ex lawyer friend and get back to you. The shitty thing is, I loaned her 1000 and was actually going to gift her the whole lot, cos you know, don't loan ya friends money etc and I'd made a bunch selling the house. But she said that wouldn't feel right, so I suggested paying half, which she agreed to and mentioned a bunch of times after. No go deed goes unpunished. Crap thing is it's the last time I'll help a friend financially, cos fuck getting burned twice and the next person might actually be more in need and less of a cunt.
I bet you're not the only person she's stiffed. Think about all the people she's dissed in the past and you will find they were probably people she has abused and taken advantage of as well.
That's a depressing thought, but yeah, you're probably right. Complain, play the victim, get everyone to support her then move on to the next chumps who'll listen. I've known her over 20 years and yep, now I think about it, it's a pattern. I think Spud is right, I probably got off light.
