Should I put up with how I've been cheated? Isn't it enough that I alone have had my Wainwrights family bipolar 1 gene to deal with? What would you think in my shoes? I want to put all this behind me wouldn't you?  Anyone with bipolar 1 will need help fighting stigma. Everthing bad that's happened to me bipolar 1 has been at the root. No one has ever accused me of doing anything dishonest or wrong. Can the same be said for my codirectors at Wainwright & Sons? Fancy conspiring against me and having the nerve to call it my 'predicament'. It's time that David owned up to his lies and pathetic jealousy of me and admit to hiding behind his wife and father and turning them against me on his behalf 
 
My fathers Probate was a fraud. At no time did David and Alison answer my accusations. If they say that's wrong then it should be simple enough to explain why. They said I left the business because of my bipolar but knew it was false. They exploited my illness to paint me in a bad light expecting to get away with it. While I was out of the way working at home in Chinnor they turned the shop staff against me! I'd gone out of my way to be fair only to have them stab me in the back. I've no idea what customers and trade suppliers have been told but obviously it won't be flattering. Don't I deserve to know? I remember David gloated saying I had a weak case. He rubbed salt in the wound telling me there was nothing I could do about it. He resented my success saving Beaconsfield but was it normal for his jealousy to turn to hatred?
 
Now 70 how should this matter be resolved? Would fair-minded people think I've been treated badly by my siblings? Dad's will was unfair. The circumstances should have been investigated it's no too late. It's common knowledge that people with bipolar 1 are up against stigma. That they need extra support and protection is pretty much obvious because the odds are against them. Looking at my case here it's a good example. How do my sister Sandra and brother Stephen feel about that? They know I've been unfairly treated and cheated by David and Alison. I'm not washing dirty linen in public because I'm hoping for peoples opinion! Dad actually told Stephen that he didn't want me left like this
 
Dad and I often laughed about peoples kidology or self-delusions. Perhaps it's human nature to think we react differently to everyone else in the same circumstances! From time to time 'the drowning man' would pop up. Would we try and save him if it risked our lives? After the mess we finished up after his death you'd be surprised to know we never fell out! That's more than I could say for David who I'd never have expected would make me an enemy. In my Wainwrights Shoes memoir I've explained exactly how he cheated me. I'd like to 'go forward' as they say but he and his wife stand in the way and have proved themselves spiteful. I hear that family fall outs are common and being family noone should interfere. I think that depends on the circumstances. What if one side lies to influence people and has an obvious financial motive?
