The cow finally paid me the remaining of her debt – in fact some 30 euros more than what she was due, but since I know she knew how much she owned me, she must have wanted to pay some interests. Too bad I had to ask my lawyer to get into action and thus a part of what I got will go straight to the lawlady’s pocket – but that’s how it works, after all. It is sad that someone I cherished for over a decade had to feel the court of justice on her knees to pay me back – but again, guess actions speak for themselves.
Now, I have a more serious struggle to start. My FL ex-partner, on his side, didn’t even bothered to reply to my lawyer’s letter, where again we asked him to pay me back the half of the house where he lived together for six years. It’s been one year now that I was pushed away from home, half-asleep with anti-depressives. One year he kept living there as if the place only belonged to him, during which he totally ignored my requests to reimburse me of my own half.
Now, his grace period has come to an end. Again, too bad I have to appeal to legal services, but it’s proven now there is no other way to put an end to this story. Too bad it will cost each one of us exactly 918 euros just to start with the legal action – again, me and my kid we’re being damaged just because that shit piece of humanity (yet to be proved he does belong to the human kind, LOL) thinks that if one ignores problems they will simply go away.
Again, guess that’s how things work. But somehow, I can’t help feeling that the Portuguese service of justice encourages those who don’t work, don’t pay any taxes and just live on someone else’s shoulders. Apparently, whenever a respectful citizen who’s been fulfilling his/her civil duties for over 20 years needs to collect his/her own debt, he/she still has to go through a tremendous financial effort in order to get some legal support. Yes, it looks like justice in Portugal is more and more directed only to those who can afford it.
My bad luck. It will not stop me now, however. The race has started, and in the end this clown here will be the last one to laugh *winks*
