Star and I will be praying for you. Hang on!
Peace,

Thanks, Joyce, to you and Star. Reasonable is not a word that's ever been used to describe him. At some point, I may try that but right now his body language is shouting, "Back off"!

Thank you for the prayers. They are always appreciated.

In Christ - Mike

Nope..it's not unique...

I too had a similar experience...mine did not have a happy ending though. I ended up leaving for a similar job at a compeditor. The benefits aren't as good, but at least I can sleep at night, and know I'm not going to be harassed at work. My boss hated me because I was right about something, and did the right thing, against his wishes, thereby saving the company from litigation. I don't know if I could do it again...it was the moral, legal and right thing to do, but it cost me dearly. I still struggle daily to forgive those involved in harassing me.

KitsapGirl,

Ultimately, you did the right thing and that's what's important. Even though you may have lost something in switching jobs, I think you would do it all again, given the chance. Morally, legally and righteously, how could you do otherwise? I say this after reading some of your other posts. Take comfort in the fact that you're a good person.

Thanks, I needed that

....Sometimes I don't feel like such a good person when the feelings of betrayal rear their ugly head & I have to pray for them to go away....
