Well it's a new month let's hope things continued to repair I thank you guys for all the support and comments.
I will get to them eventually probably starting Monday or Tuesday when I get time while I go see my father and then hopefully back to upvoting as usual etc.
Just thing's have been a little hectic right now while I try to get everything organised in the hope of visiting my father this coming Monday.

If you haven't read my previous post I talked about a mugging which happened to me recently as I got invited to a friends house for a get together with some others friends of mine.

I finished work and made my way towards her house, I was unsure of where her house was situated being the first time visiting.

To get there I passed a library which faces a busy main street the rest of the building turns into another road which is towards my friends house.
Down this road there was a group of 5 young girls all under 20 and 2 guys but just a couple of feet away were two other guys in hoodies who didn't seem to be part of the group.

Anyway so I passed the two guys and turned into my friends road, I suddenly felt like I was being followed by them, one of the guys when into another road.

But the bigger guy quickly ran up close beside me and started asking me a few questions, confused but not distracted I continued to walk, refusing to answer anymore questions I kept going, but by this point I knew what was coming...

He lastly asked for money, I said no, he suddenly stood in-front of me and wouldn't let me continue walking.
He told me I had to give him money now or he and he's pal would make a bloody mess out of me....

Another guy quickly appeared behind me as if from almost thin air.

I was trapped between these two with not a soul in sight for help.

It was a residential area, full of houses yet nobody was about doing their usual business.

I felt like I had no other option but to comply as they could of been carrying knifes, apparently over %70 of muggers here have knifes...
I started to think even if I give them my wallet they might still stab me, I hoped they were smart enough to not kill anybody.

I started to take out my wallet the bigger guy quickly snatched it off me, he grabbed all the money, coins and took my bank card also.

He seemed very pleased with having found my bank card in particular, he acted like it was some big extra bonus or something that he didn't expect, he smirked rubbed it like if to see it was it actually real..? and then said it was very nice..?

I guess the guy had never seen plastic before with he's name on it? How very odd.

I wont deny that right at that moment I really had to contain myself on not attacking him, even biting my own tongue, but there was two of them and I learnt from previous experience's that it's probably not a very good idea to fight a 2 v 1.

He wished me a pleasant evening.... and ran off with he's pal.

I was not attacked or insured this time, but admit I was lost and in shock as not knowing where my friend's house was I just wanted out of there before anything else happens.

Not the first time I was robbed the previous time was much worse, two guys tried to steal my phone, I put up a fight but with the odds against me they beat me up enough to which I was taken into hospital.

I have been fuming mostly about my bank card being stolen as this was particularly bad timing as I'am about to go visit my father for a yearly visit.

I already don't see him enough as it is due to working and the money needed to visit and basically I needed my bank card to pay for my travel fee's.

My worries were that the thieves managed to spent enough money to the point that I wouldn't be able to afford the travel costs to visit my father.

When I talked to my bank over the phone it seemed like the thieves didn't get anything but they couldn't give me full details at that time.

I have been awaiting in hope for my new card to arrive before Monday, and yesterday I was happy to report that my new bank card arrived in the morning, I was finishing breakfast and first thing I wanted to do was to check and see if the thieves got away with anything.

I logged into my banking only to find that unfortunately they still managed to place two orders totalling up to around just over $100, it's not too terribly much, I guess I braced for the worse, still I was fuming that they got away with it and wanted my money back!

I contacted my bank after answering many many question the lady said that the money would be returned to me but only temporarily until I sign some disclaimer forms and send them back.

Ok sounds good...but there was still a problem... the forms had to be signed within a sort period of time and basically by the time the forms would arrive and needed to be back I would still be visiting my father...

The lady suggested I go into the bank and ask for these forms, unfortunately I had work soon.
But once I put the phone down, I thought you know what.. screw work! If I get in late that unbearable boss of mine will just have to deal with it I'am not letting those thieves get away with my money.

I hurried got the documents I needed together and rushed to the bank, in one sense I was not pleased with this and wont deny that the thought of "what if I get robbed on my way there" didn't cross my mind, and it was more because if for some reason I got robbed and they took my documents I would firstly definitely not be seeing my dad.. and 2 I would then need to deal with identity theft.

A headache I really don't need right now.

On the way I was on the phone telling my friend about the situation as we had not spoken since the incident and it also made me feel a little better knowing that there was someone else on the other side of the line who knew roughly my location.

Once I arrived at the bank the lady working there was really nice in dealing with the situation apparently they don't normally give such documents but since I'am travelling they will make an exception.
I must also mention that the guy who was behind me in queue was also in to deal with a stolen card problem, it just shows how much this happens.

Anyway I got my forms and rushed home to store them and then rushed straight back out and into work.
And somehow I still made it in on time but was hungry as I had no time to get any food that day.
My boss knows about my situation but as usual he still felt like he had nothing nice to say to me except complain before he left the building.

After I finished work I didn't have the time or the right headspace to fill out the forms, and so that is what kept me busy for today.

I was also warned to keep checking my bank over the next few days incase the thieves managed to slip past with any other payments, I checked and I'am happy to report so far nothing, I also saw the funds which the thieves used my card for had been returned to my account but it's only temporarily until they receive the forms.

Meaning I should now be ok and have the funds needed to go visit my father.

Fingers crossed nothing else goes wrong arggh.

Since getting robbed and this happening a few times I have had many people ask me how does someone cope with any emotional trauma, the regrets, the lack of sleep or what can be done against such things?
And so I might write some more posts on this in-case it might help anybody else out there.

Also post's might be a little on and off for the next 2 weeks while organise my visit which should be fine now that I have a card and the temporarily funds are definitely in the bank just need those forms sent to keep them there, also while I see my father I may not always get the time or internet needed to be able to get on Steemit everyday.
But I will keep you guys updated.
