Need advice

Published

Hi,

I need major advice. Please no negative comments.

A few months ago a co-worker and ex-friend agreed to go on a girls trip together that would cost about $2000 each. Plus $1000 each on flight and hotel. This co-worker does not know how to use computers well so she asked if I could buy it and she would pay me back she only gave me $2000 in cash. The other $1000 I put down for her.

unfortinately, after that, my baby boy was diagnosed with a chronic disease where I would have to give her chemotherapy. Crying on the phone I told her that I could not leave my baby boy alone and would take the baby to the trip. She said ok.

Everything was fine, then she decided not to go at the last minute 2 weeks before the trip she changed her mind. claiming that I never told her about my son coming! And claiming all these negative untrue things about me. So she asked to get a refund from ticket insurance. The insurance was denied. NOW she wants me to reimburse her for the $2000 that she paid. And writes me threatening letters that she will sue me.

She writes me on my work e-mail, calls me multiple times and leaves 3-4 minute messages on my voice mail, claims that I am a low life.

I am not responsible to refund money since the claim was not approved. But she is harrassing me so much that it is incredible. I don't know what to do. I am in fear of my life.

I have not seen her at work in about 3 months. Since we do work different floors. But she harasses me, in her derogatory voicemails she brings up private things I told her. She brings up my son that my son is ok and people laugh at me at work when she tells them health stories about my son.

I really don't know what to do. I live in Pensacola, FL.

i need really good advice. I am scared of her. She only thinks about me. In her voicemails she claims that I tricked her, that she only made the trip because she felt sorry for me, and she called me a low-life, ... Basically really nasty things.

I don't know what to do. I am scared she will stab me at work, take a gun to work and shoot me, hit me, etc. I watch too many ID channel shows and it is scary what people can do when you least expect it.

I need good sound advice.

I alrwady plan not to talk to her alone and to take a witness with me. If she yells to call security.

But I don't know what else to do.

I am asking for advice. If you are commenting on my post, the least you could do is lead me to the right direction to where I can post this issue.

Take this somewhere else. Not a nursing forum. A therapist? Your pastor? Judge Judy?

Just not here.

In my post I didn't write it was about "nursing"

I was looking for advice on an issue going on with another nurse who I work with. Definitely not looking for legal advice. Just 3cents and opinions from other nurses.

the messages she has left on my voice mail have escalated into threats and even "May God have mercy on your soul"

I don't know what to think.

Just don't think that nursing has anything to do with your issue.

I agree this topic has nothing to do with nursing!

definitely not nursing at all and definitely it should not be on this forum at all.

I'm dying to know what sort of event costs $2k to attend.

I'd save and document EVERYTHING and talk to someone about a protective order against her. I'm glad you're involving your workplace, too.

Good luck.

Thank you so much. I appreciate your wise words. I didn't think about a protective order, that's a great idea.

The $2500 event is a ticket to meet a #1 world wide celebrity singer #1

I can't wait till this drama is over. Definitely not making friends at work ever again!

I talked to human resources and they will support me by ensuring I have a security guard escort me to my car, and to make sure that I don't walk alone in the hallways & have a buddy to walk with
