Background
Recent (provide by Jean Smith)
John at the age of 66-year-old recently become unemployed after his boss fired him.
He has always been very independent and successful in his occupation which he attributes to his hard work and perfectionist skills. He says he is ashamed that he has lost his job and cannot understand how his employer could have fired him.
Jean believes Johns employer has tried his best to support him over the past 2 years with his change in mood and low energy levels but Johns ability to keep up with the work has declined, making it hard for him to finish jobs on time. His employer has many stressors himself and has suggested he access counselling, but he is unable to pay for this service.
Before this hospitalisation to the Older Persons Mental Health unit, Jean spoke to their GP who invited John in to carry out a Mental Health Care Plan by John could not find the energy to attend. He also mentioned he was ashamed to talk about his problems with anyone and felt he had burdened his family and employer enough.
Jean recalled a car accident involving John which occurred approximately 12 months ago. She stated that he had been driving alone late at night in the hills which was unusual and crashed the car into a ditch. Fortunately, John had minor injuries and no one else was involved.
Jean recalled Johns car accident was just after he was fired from his job and around the same of year his father and dog died. As she reflected on this, she admitted it was a difficult time in their lives. Jean was concerned that perhaps this was an intentional accident, but John denied he was trying to hurt himself. He stated this was an accident, I feel asleep and felt quite upset that it had occurred.
Childhood
Mr Smith, first name is John. He is the middle child of three who grew up in small town called Skyline located approximately two hours drive from the centre of Horizon. Mr Smiths parents immigrated from England in 1950s to Australia, but his parents rarely spoke about England and John has never met his extended English family.
John is the second child to his parents, born in Eden and he spent the first two years living in the community while his father completed his business degree. Then they moved to Skyline where his father became a local business owner with mother and his older brother (Ben) and younger sister (Mary).
Mr Smith attended the local area school until year 10, when an electrician apprenticeship opportunity arose with a local builder. He was a child that did not really like school and the teacher always reported that he was a child that needed to try more and could do better but was disruptive in class which created tension between him and his mother.
Whereas his two siblings were higher achievers, completed year 12 and obtaining degrees at university, which his mother spoken fondly of and their achievements. This resulted in John, at the time being defiant and argumentative with his mother and siblings.
He loved the outdoors, animals and sport. As a child he often engaged with his father and assisting with the local business clinic. He would frequently ask his parents if he could have a dog. He played for local Skyline cricket and football team and often got high bating score or best on ground which his father was proud of and came to most of Johns games. There was a difficult relationship between John and his mother, and she never attended his school events, community sporting games or supported his love for outdoors, animals or sport.
In his early teens, he started to disengage from his mother and siblings, spending more time with their friends and participating in activities which involved risking taking behaviours like motor bike riding.
By age 17, his electrical apprenticeship provided him with skills, money and resources to renovate and move into a small house in town. He was also able to finally purchase a dog, which he called Fred, who went every with him.
John moved out of the home to live with is work mates when he was 19 years old.
Adult life
Mr Smith met his wife Jean in their mid-twenties when Jean moved to Skyline and started working at the local Kindy as a childcare educator. He completed his apprenticeship and worked for number of local companies but has been working as an electrician for Vista Build for 20 years.
He was actively involved the local Skyline cricket and football team, as a lead player until a major sporting injury occurred in his late 20s, which haltered his ability to play any sport. He moved into helping out around the club, but he would often be seen at the sporting club bar chatting to his mates and other club members on most days after work.
John and his father remained best of mates until his father suddenly died of heart attack when John was 35 years, soon after the death of his father, Fred his dog was hit by a car and died.
In time John decided to purchase another dog which he did for his 45th birthday, and called him come on matey, as which was Johns nickname that his father used to call him.
Family Life
John and Jean both love life and did lots of things together and they got married in their late 20s.
John and Jean lovingly welcomed Tom their son into their family when they were in their mid-30s.
Jeans pregnancy and birthing complications, she was unable to have any more children. John and Jean both struggle not being able to have any more children with Jean seeking mental health support after Toms birth. Whereas John has remained with some unresolved anger in how the hospital handled Jeans care around Toms birth, and still has some mistrust of the healthcare system today.
John and Jean both care for Tom, and John did seek to have the same relationship he had with his father, with Tom.
John had a difficult relationship with his mother but would let Tom visit paternal grandmother, and Tom did enjoy visiting and loved her dearly, as they used to discuss various books they were reading. Johns mother died when Tom was 18 years old, but John would not let Jean or Tom attend the funeral, stating we owe her nothing. This created family tension with verbal outbursts between Tom and John, placing a strain on their father-son relationship.
Jean and John relationship changed, when Tom at the 22 years old won a scholarship to go university. John wanted Tom to stay in Skyline than move to Horizon, as being a tradie is a good job. Jean knew she missed Tom, as they did a lot of things around the house for her, but she wanted the best for him. Tom took the scholarship and moved to Horizon.
Since John and Jean had completed house renovations which resulted in a considerable home mortgage with Tom also needing support too, this has added to money worries and to their financial pressure.
Jean and Johns relationship has broken down and they have become recently separated but John remains living in the family home with Jean until they decide on living arrangements.
