    Hi Kathryn
    Your post should have come with one of those labels " please do not try this at home ".
    And you are right, it maybe was not the smartest move to go to that place and i’m sure you will learn from that experience and say " no " next time. Better to rock that boat than sink your ship.
    I’m smiling after reading your post and think you have done fantastically well. There are situations we can avoid but there will be ones that will just  happen and prepared you will be.

    Hi Kathryn
    I hope you are not being too hard on yourself. I’m sure your last weeks of emotional times are all connected to your present state. And sometimes we are blinded to the improvement in ourselves but thats not always a bad thing as it’s important to learn how to live when the sun does not shine and it helps us to flourish later.
    I hope I make sense

    Hi Bettie
    I have a boss who sometimes is ready to criticise any mistake that I make, even though he rarely knows what he is talking about, as he does not understand how my job works.
    He uses words like " schoolboy error " and also includes the whole of the office in the emails he sends. Only one other person is subject to the same scrutiny that I am, and the rest are allowed to revel in incompetence, and they are good at that.
    I used to find it quite hard to deal with and even when he tells me that I and the other get criticised most because we are the best and the highest paid, he does not understand how demotivating it can be.
    I do my best now to let it go over my head and just think " there goes my boss again "
    I see it is different for you and I would seek another position like you.
    Take Care

    I’m very glad to have chatted to you over the last two days.
    You are one of the many positive people on this site and im glad I have found this place.
    I think i have VTC01 to thank for that.
    Maybe catch up next weekend but since i have 4 children to entertain as its the summer holidays it will probably be the weekend after.
    Thank you

    Is it true you would be sadder and more lonely than you are now with him in your life.
    I really have little knowledge about you but i doubt that statement.

    Hi Bettie
    I think its so hard for those outside addiction to even have a grasp of it though your friend seems seriously to lack any empathy.
    I wish I could say something wise to you.
