This World Is Fucking Sick...
Ok, in a world where we're meant to have respect for our fellow human, in what is meant to be a free world... where does a 20 month child get sued because of some fucking clause in a contract?

Basically, if you can't be bothered to read all of that, but I would, it's a sad story...
A woman killed herself due to post natal depression, leaving a 3 month old child with his father, all he has of her, is a few picture, his father's memories and the suicide note from her which reads: "I love you so much. I'm so sorry I have to leave you. Look after our beautiful baby son. Thank you for everything. I'm sorry please forgive me. I tried but I failed. I love you. Penny xxx."
Now, he is being sued because she died, she signed a no-win-no-fee contract, with a clause that says in the event of the claimant's dying before the claim for damages was concluded, the firm was entitled to recover "our basic charges up to the date of your death from your estate".
He is now being sued for up to £25000, what the fuck is up with that? Come off it, it's not worth the fucking hassle!
Sorry, but this story has really affected me, I think it's sick that a company will have no respect for the father and the child in their grief for their lost love/mother.
