Betsey,
Big hugs to you. I'll second the motion to not over-react. (Though easier said than done.)
Hopefully, you are in a sitch like I often get myself in to... you'll get the FULL story and it won't be as bad as you expected.
Well, The bright side? You're about to have a lot more clarity to your sitch.

I'll be thinking about you all day, Betsey.
Take care.
