    Hugs sorry to hear about OH you look after yourself and make sure you focus on what you want. Some time away from home really makes you think. Could another little trip away maybe so see a friend be in order, even for a bit longer if you're working.

    Take care all the best

    Thankyou TG had a lovely bus ride out today....really helped to clear my head. Strange how as time moves on we spend even less time together.. in fact I would say I avoid spending anytime with OH nowadays...but then he is no longer the man I met a lot of the time so I don't feel guilty..................
    You probably understand exactly what I am babbling on about TG Xx

    Oh yes I do and I hope you'll make your own mind up regarding the longer term future one day when you're ready.

    Thanks guys, not having a job is not helping matters...before I could bury my problems in my work, wont lie was nice to lounge around in the beginning but I am bored to tears now....1st plan of action to get myself a job, hopefully one I will enjoy.
    Waiting for email from University, not sure if I mentioned DS put a written complaint to the principal regarding that horror of a tutor......it was really well written giving dates and times of each incident....anyway he promised to carry out a full investigation and give us his findings no later than today. I am not expecting them/her to apologize or admit any wrong doing " nasty tutor has far to massive ego for apologies" and trying to prepare for the worst but nerves are shot waiting.
    Also is Bl@@dy and D@mn considered a swear word DS has just told me she was using this type of language whilst shouting at him. My opinion is it isn't and shouldn't be used or appropriate for someone in the teaching profession ....and at-least not whilst used in anger towards a young student. What are your thoughts, any advice ?....not trusting my own judgement at the moment.Xx

    As a retired teacher, I would say it is not acceptable to use that language with students, and certainly not while shouting at them. I wouldn't have thought it was appropriate for a lecturer at university to be shouting at a student at all, never mind using that kind of language. I think your son in due an apology at the very least.

    Really hope that horrible woman gets what's coming to her. No excuse whatsoever for that language.

    Thankyou Bobs
    Thanks Money whiz have received a copy of their report investigations only today hand delivered. Completely denying everything all the way through the report stating how she is almost super woman when talking about her tutoring abilities, as for witnesses....students keeping quiet and other tutor denying any knowledge even though he was in the room. She is denying her actions with a statement from her saying she can be expressive in her body language but this is due to how she so passionately cares for the students?? pure rubbish....Expressive in he body language! ....what does that mean??.The report ends abruptly with "on the face of it- there is no evidence to substantiate these allegations".
    Gutted they as I thought have closed ranks and my DS is now determined he will not go back and who could blame him ...losing the chance of his degree due to this terrible woman and the report is so one sided. Money whizz we are not happy with this reports findings, it states this is the first complaint ever made against this tutor which is a blatant lie, we know of another student who complained only months previously, is there another complaints higher than the principal we can go to or is this the end of the line.......sooooo sad for DS any advice would be very grateful...Thanks x
