[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 180512, member: 3907"] {{{{{HUGS}}}}} Steely, You need time to focus on you, your grieving, your healing. First of all, work. With the high level of distress this is causing you I would suggest going to your GP and looking into stress leave. The psycho has created a toxic work environment for you and it is affecting your health. You can't be expected to continue to do your job under those conditions. Your employer is obligated to provide you with a safe working environment, and that includes safety from mental cruelty. I suspect that they can be liable if they force you to continue working with this woman. Not sure of U.S. employment law, but it's worth looking into. Your grief for your sister is like a raw ragged wound. It may have scabbed over but it will take time...a very long time to start healing. Please be gentle with yourself and don't beat yourself up for feeling the way you do. It also sounds like you're under a lot of pressure from your parents to put on a face of being positive and happy and helpful when you're being torn apart by grief and stress. If they are not there to support you when you need it, but expect you to dig up your last reserves of strength to support them, then maybe you need to pull back from them for a while so that you can focus on you and what you need. Don't let them make you feel guilty. You've got to take care of you before you can have the strength to take care of anyone else. We are here for you and we love you. Sending strength your way and so very sorry for your pain. Trinity [/QUOTE]
