[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 604190, member: 1233"] Only you can make this call. On one hand, it can be very tough to fight these things. It is hard to ask someone to tell the courts what has happened. on the other hand, maybe if you do this it will result in a better situation for both your coworkers and the children. From a management perspective, many companies will wait until you respond to this step to really pay much attention to problems of this nature. If the employee doesn't follow through with paperwork, they lose very little. But if the employee sends in the paperwork the company offers a settlement regardless of the merits of the case. The company management realizes that in many cases it is far more cost effective to give the former employee some money rather than to bother to see if the charges are founded. While it may be something that your former employer would settle after the first round or two of paperwork, it WILL come at a cost to you. whether it is friendships, emotional pain/upheaval/upset, stress, etc.... or it is money for lawyers' fees etc..., it may be more than you want to pay or are able to pay. While your case very likely has great merit, it WILL keep you 'stuck' back in those days when you were so incredibly upset over the events that transpired. I do not know if it is worth dredging all that up to you. Only you can decide that and decide if you are willing and able to deal with this as you continue to have to deal with your son's behavior during his divorce. That does seem like a very heavy emotional load and we cannot tell you how to handle it. Whatever decision you make, once you have made it, please let yourself be at as much peace as possible over it. There is nothing to gain by beating yourself up or second guessing yourself endlessly.
