This getting used to being on the way to unburdened and dare I say free (as much as you can be in our current socialist utopia) is actually difficult. Whilst it hasn't been continuous, the way that this bloke with a grudge has fired off at me for accepting his resignation and withdrawal from the project has left a back of my mind concern every time I do something I expect the hurl of abuse like before but now I think it is going to have to be, if anything, the last word letter. It was last time and so I expect it now but there is, in reality nothing he can do. What he may feel he can do is now seriously limited and it would be like arguing with rock.
If he does complain to the authorities then he will have to 1). Have something to complain about and 2). Have something concrete to show them. Neither of which he has of course. He has no documentation to speak of and that he has is my response to his accusations which destroy his assertions and of course, I still have the very original letter where he distances himself entirely from the project. And who is going to arbitrate this considering I offered arbitration and he refused? The other thing is that unless he has sound paperwork to go to the authorities with - he will be treated to a polite direction towards the door.
If the company has had its Accounts duly prepared by Chartered Accountants and accepted by Companies House and HMRC then there's not much ground to his hearsay and invisible evidence.
I convince myself that if he did any of this, he'd find his way blocked and whilst it may be reviewed initially it will be found to run out of steam at the first hurdle.
So I am pretty confident about all of this logically and yet he is not logical and that's my worry. Having seen his previous meandering, accusatory and circular ramblings what could he do next? The answer I know is that it is not a lot. There is nothing he can do and that should be that. The business is no more and I just need to follow the process and have done with it.
I can feel and taste freedom. Yesterday on a whim we went out to lunch and I do feel much better but I suppose these fears and dreads I have are that he cuts up rough but once again to do and achieve what? There is nothing more he can do. There's no money left, the business is dead and that's that. RIP the business.
So I realise this is some sort of problem I have, I expect this bloke to be an arse, to send me his solicitor's letters and that's annoying but what can he do now, why would he even want to? Why am I dreading the post, why is it disturbing me so much? It's a tiny company, not some multi million dollar corporation. Shutting it down SHOULD be an end to it all. It is what it is, there is no logical reason to counter it or try and do anything about it. Yet still my mind is whirling with all those possibilities and it's not fair or reasonable, it belittles all the work I have done to actually get the idea to market. That it failed the final test and nobody actually bought it, tells the ultimate truth. Customers voted with their wallets and not one sale happened. That's absolute proof that whilst they downloaded it - they did not want to part with cash to purchase it.
That absolute is the bottom line and still I worry that he will complain but you know that's me. It will be over soon and there will be no need to worry about it at all. He can do what he wants I guess.
I have to get over this which is taking a little time. 18 months of the abuse from this guy has taken its toll on me but let's get past this and have done with it and I need no longer worry about him and his cronies ever again. I get short bursts of freedom and I am going to expand on these in the coming months as I regain my freedom and start living a retired life. That's the plan but I am sure I will keep circling back here but hopefully with less frequency and less stress in my head. He isn't worth it.
