[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 605988, member: 1233"] The others have given excellent and TRUE advice. Allow yourself to feel what you feel on your own time, your non-work hours. At work you have a toxic coworker. Time to deal with that is NOW. Don't let the fear undermine you at work not one little bit. You are every bit as good as the company thinks you are, in fact, you are BETTER than that. You are the mother of a difficult child. When you have dealt with a difficult child, the merry go round of life with a difficult child, a toxic coworker is a rank amateur trying to play in the Superbowl. In fact, this coworker is a high school junior varsity benchwarmer trying to play in the Superbowl. they don't have a PRAYER against you, and it may be that you are the only one who doesn't know it. Your company sure thinks you are awesome, or they wouldn't pay you what they do or want a worker who has such a commute. Believe me, I know commutes. My dad drove 70+ miles one way to work for over 20 years. My husband did it for four. Until recently if we wanted to shop at a big store other than Walmart we had to drive that far. NOw we can add Ross and Bestbuy and Joanns but that is about it. So we still drive that far to doctors, shopping, and many other things. It is do-able, and you can and iwll do it. Get some audiobooks fro the drive (they make it much easier) and check the local library AND the library in the city where you work for free audiobooks to check out. Get some on dealing with toxic coworkers and boosting your self esteem. I PROMISE that you can handle this coworker with your hands tied behind your back and a bad hair day. She has NOTHING on you, and that eats her alive. Let it. Be yourself, and know that it is way more than enough. Learn to use the commute time to recharge, to plan your day, to think things through. Even my dad learned to do this and said it made his day so much better and made him a better teacher. You and husband will pull through. Understand that your reaction IS PTSD and you needed time to cope with the sheer shock, as does husband. (((((HUGS))))) [/QUOTE]
