Hi,
I was asked in 2016, to come & live with an elderly lady (I'll call her Ruth - not her real name). Whilst there, I started to help out that lady's daughter & her husband out on the farm (Maree & John - not their real names.)
I had recently lost my wife of 33 years & Maree was helping me get over my grief by offering councilling by way of talking about my problems. (John was also helping when he could.)
In May this year, (2018) Maree's daughter, Louis, (not her real name) who is a Paramedic, told me how the "druggos" use Norspan patches to get their "high." She also explained how it is done & if you use more than a certain amount of patches, (The plastic satchel that contains the drug is wedged between the teeth & gums). You will overdose & it will quickly kill you unless the Paramedics get there early enough & revive you. You will however have severe brain damage.
Because this Paramedic knew that I had talked about suicide after the loss of my wife, she added that I should not try this!
Fast forward 2 months.
This Paramedic went to her mother Maree & said: "If Gary comes out to this place again, myself & my husband will not come out to visit you or dad again. You will not be able to see your grandkids either."
The lady that I was living with, Ruth, also got the same treatment. She was told that if Gary is allowed to live here, you will not see us (grandkids) or your great grandkids again.
Ruth was in tears when she told me that I'd have to leave.
This was the straw that broke the camels back for me - I tried to end it all on the 27/7/18 (Hose in the exhaust pipe - I was due to get my next Norspan patches the next day but I snapped early.) but the Parkes Police got to me too early & removed the hose from my car before the job was done.
I'm now living in a tent in a caravan park.
My question is: Maree & Ruth are very upset by the turn of events but don't believe that they are being "Blackmailed" by Louis in saying that Gary has to get out or she'll stop all visitation by her & the kids.
Is this blackmail?
Thanks,
