Reality is my middle name

[123Gwen]

This employer is just not sympathetic to anyone. I will keep documentation but in this state they can fire people "at will" - the silver lining is knowing that there is absolutely nothing I can do about this. If they are this cruel then better I find out now. I need the money but I have a settlement in place. There is no guilt or regret. It is what it is.

I did not expect H to care about me but treating our children this way? Wow - with a parent like him you don't need enemies. He burned it all to the ground and so the girls and I are on our own. The girls knew it before I did. Sad but true. Youngest said I should be proud of how long I kept my "Rose colored glasses" - I guess I am?

A friend got mad at me for feeling defeated. I think we are allowed to feel defeated 48 hours into this mess - 48 days is a different story. She may not be my friend anymore because I said I am human. For decades I tried to be the best wife, mom, daughter and volunteer. I can't do that right now. Yes I still worry I may get stuck here in the land of bitter and depressed but I have always had faith in the bigger picture. Bones heal, this is a set back but I have all the most important things in my life.
