My ex partner recently had me arrested and falsely charged causing me to lose my career..I was a high needs disability support worker ,working with adult autism and challenging behaviours.The charges pending ment i was stood down until such time as i was found innocent. In the process of waiting for the court case to be finalised,My ex a very carasmatic flamboyant artist had managed to destroy my reputation in the small country town we lived in..he told professional people in the same care sector as myself that I have a crack drug habit ro cope with chronic pain...I developed panic and anxiety attacks .my health slipped and despite the criminal charges being thrown out of court I can't return to my career as I have bouts of depression and anxiety that keeps me isolated..my kids and I got pushed out of town forced to find a new town ,new home and one day a new job. ..is this a defamation case..is it worth the fight,should I fight back?
