[QUOTE="Steely, post: 317590, member: 3301"] Thank you guys - you are such a support. Yesterday at work was not as bad without M as I imagined. Just sad, and now it puts me directly in the firing line of the VP. I have been coached by HR that if I want to move forward in my career, I need to stop being such a tough, independent, "woman" - because the VP does not like "independent women". Yep those [I]exact[/I] words. Yea. Gulp. I wouldn't be where I am today in my career or life if I was not independent and strong willed!!!! Sigh. So I will choose [I]not[/I] to stand up to him - but rather let him control me. (Ack, I got a little vomit in my throat when I wrote that.:sick:) He wants me under his thumb, and he wants to dictate all I do, and apparently that is how I need to keep my job, so I will do it. I found myself yesterday feeling really mad at M for abandoning me. She recruited me all the way from Dallas to po-dunk AX - and then she leaves me after 6 months with a sexist tyrant of a boss??? Not fair! But I know that is petty, and immature to truly be mad. I truly want the best for her. Our boss is one of the main reasons she left! Gee I wonder why. Vegas is actually not a town I want to live in - but she is only 4 hours away from me. So lots of [I]ROADTRIPS!!!!! [/I]Or we can meet in the middle somewhere, like St George, and hike or ski. Yes, I still have my guy friends G & R. R went with me to the lake last weekend and we had a great time kayaking and hiking. So, I still have support here, for sure. I just wish it was M:frowny: Anyway. Thanks for your support. Today is the day I am finally going to confront Matt on using drugs. We have not spoken since this happened 2 weeks ago. I am almost not wanting to go back and experience the emotion I felt, but he needs to hear it from me. [/QUOTE]
