I've suffered sexual discrimination in the first year of employment

I'd finally had enough this week and called HR to resign and they understandably want to go through a grievance process to cover themselves no doubt.
My question is do I have a leg to stand on ? I was told to resign due to my children taking up too much of my time outside work hours of 8.30 -4.30 which he also wanted dedicating to my administration. HR told him off and to stop it, which he did not.
And if I do have a case, is it worthwhile pursueing and will the grievance procedure influence matters ?
Many thanks I don't want to waste peoples time going to solicitors if it's just going to add to the stress, it's been an awful experience.

But the HR experts on "employment issues" are your friends. They are not there to represent their companies. They are there to help people like you. And unlike Ahhhhhpushit they actually know what they are talking about and have successfully advised many people on MN in similar situations.

Just for clarity, if anyone throws their papers on the floor and storms out they will significantly weaken their case for constructive dismissal. At best any compensation could be reduced by up to 25%. At worst they could lose out completely.

I'm not brave enough to throw my papers on the floor I want a reference and I want him sacked so if I start behaving unreasonably then my position is weakened considerably.
Ah what to do what to do.
