When you find yourself in a hole the first thing you need to do is stop digging. Once you mentioned the file at work you were knee deep.
Knee deep?
Neck deep, at least.
I thought I was doing really good, too. I validated and did everything I was supposed to. Then I slipped up and said this. Does it really matter, though? She has not done one thing to stop this or even slow it down. I'm sure she thought I would just go along with things as long as she wanted me to. Now she knows I have been keeping track of things she says and does. It's too late to take it back now and I don't care. I have to protect myself and the kids.
