[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 555228, member: 13882"] TeDo, I can only imagine how furious and justifiably wronged you must feel - I often see the person (and I use that term loosely) who first sold my difficult child drugs; I want to run him over with my car. If I had to work in the same small store with him...I just don't know how I'd do it. In your case, it's worse...your kids didn't have a choice, like my son did. TeDo, you need this job...it's taken you a year to get it. If things are going well at home, and your kids are behaving and doing well in school, try to keep the job. on the other hand, if the stress is just too much, I don't know if it's worth it. It would be a shame for YOU to be the one to leave, you didn't do anything - it would almost be like you're giving in, and being victimized twice. We can never change the past. The very, very best thing you can do is be strong for your kids, show a good example, love your kids and teach them how to keep themselves safe and strong. If you were already working in the store for a long time, and the owner knew your character and credibility very well, then you could easily say something - since you just started there, I understand your reluctance to rock the boat. I'm sure the perpetrator also never figured she would be working with you, either. We have to pray she gives up this job before you do. I'm so sorry you're going through this. [/QUOTE]
