I should have called this thread Baby Steps, Backsteps and Major Meltdowns
I have not had the confidence in myself not to completely blow up on H right now, so I'm avoiding talking to him directly. We've had a series of voicemails back and forth.
First I told him I didn't understand him being so angry at his gossipy coworkers. His actions in b***king his nurses aid were skanky and caused him to be the center of a bunch of skanky gossip. The gossip was a natural and forseeable consequence of HIS actions, just like me having to struggle with this everyday was a natural and forseeable consequence of HIS actions! And oh, btw, I have been stating repeatedly for the past 7 months that I want FULL DISCLOSURE and all I hear is "we'll talk" and then he AVOIDS that talk.
He calls back and leaves a message saying he's confused about all of this and knows I have asked for full disclosure and maybe we DO need to have that discussion to put the past behind us and so "we'll talk".
My next message said that I thought it was a LONG OVERDUE discussion and that I want some things understood up front. I want FULL, UNVARNISHED disclosure. I don't want him to sugarcoat or leave anything out. I want him to answer ANY questions I have and I won't put up with him giving me smart a$$ answers or trying to bully me with his temper if I hit a nerve.
