Amen a vacation! But for the excuses-He has no idea I am looking, I have not answered his emails, or his posts on my FB, and today is the longest we have ever not spoken. So doing good right and doing the LRT/NC correct? Additionally, am getting calls from others in the academic field and our friends asking what his problem is, so it is in my face. THey will read something and ask me, and now I have lost a good p/t teaching gig for the fall because he and I are tied so closely together in work that the university does not want to risk a problem with him by hiring me. So doing damage control for my professional reputation which requires me to know what he is saying to answer the questions reasonably. But agreed that I need to detach some more. So I will work on that? ANy suggestions would be welcome though on how to do that in this situation...Bracing for the next round of posts due in a few minutes.
