Heather, Keep in mind that they brought you on at the paper because it wasn't doing well! Mr. Perfection can't have been doing so great as an editor considering how few papers were sold before you have even had a chance to turn things around! Also, look at how he may see you....if you CAN turn things around, how will that make HIM look? Here is this outside woman who comes in and makes the paper work where he couldn't do it. He probably feels insecure around YOU and the way he deals with his feelings is trying to make everyone be "perfect". Believe me, I've dealt with some of those types in the past, not easy to deal with and with all you have been going through the last year, of course it isn't easy.
You will be OK, don't worry, I know you've got this. Hey, now that the papers got a new name maybe you can get the paper back in that store! Just tell them it's a totally different publication!
