Dear Girl, Please disregard the two previous "replies/comments" to your blog; We seem to be infiltrated frequently by scammers and trolls.

i know you're under a tremendous amount of pressure right now, and i don't know you;but i fear you maybe are making some rash decisions, (throwing out the hubs and quitting your job), as a target of bullying myself, i know how hard it can be to even face going to work, when the deck seems stacked against you. In hindsight, i look back more than five years to the time of bullying/smear campaigning and often wish i had done things differently. It was definitely trench warfare, but at the time i didn't realize it- like any normal person, i kept hoping for right to prevail. DIDN"T HAPPEN!

WISH i'd armed myself with as much info about bullying and the union as i could. WISH i'd carried around a tape recorder, or even better a video rec. i'd be much happier and much richer now if i had. Go to WBI-(Workplace Bullying Institiute and read up on bullying in the workplace. Do you have even one ally in the workplace?

Hopefully you do, and they might be willing to sign a notarized statement as to what they have heard/experienced in the way of your particular case. Also, go to the EEOC and the labour board and discuss whats going on. If you're in therapy, tell your therapist of each and every incidence. Keep a notebook detailling every incident.

You only have a short (six month) window of time to bring charges and get them heard. Unfortunately, in most of these cases, HR is not gonna be your friend, if they seem to be trying to; its only to gather more garbage AGAINST you. Record any of those interactions as well. Cover your own ass and be defensive- get as much dirt as you can and then you may have some leverage when the proverbial shite hits the fan.

The hubs- DON"T kick his butt out until he drains the basement- AND agrees to pay for the frikken roof! Of course, if the hubs is a worthless POS, then sell anything you can and start hiding assets- you're gonna need em. Go talk to EVERY atty. in the area as well as all the best ones in the closest large town. This way they CAN'T represent HIM, when he tries to engage counsel. Pain in the butt, but one of the few recourses you'll have; ESPECIALLY if he's got any kind of financial upper hand.

Don't give in to thinking of yourself as insane and/or mentally deficient, YOU'RE NOT!

You simply have a neurobiological imbalance. As long as you can think logically and manage your own life- you're not "MENTALLY" anything- you're no different than someone with a lisp, or a lazy eye, or epilepsy.

Keep hanging in there Girl, and give yourself a little time to THINK before you shoot.

PS- get out the umbrellas and visqueen-it's gonna rain again.... MO
