Good to hear from you, yellowbirdy.
Often family members, and friends just do not understand what you have been living. When we try to confide in family, and express what we are feeling and living, we do sound like overboard drama queens because they cannot wrap their head around all the craziness we have been living. I was sharing an incident with a friend regarding XA, her response was. "Oh Marie, you have always been a great story teller, love your humor."
I was being serious as a judge, telling her the facts of the previous nite's incident.
As far as your boss, she is a snake. I wouldn't trust her. That is hitting below the belt.
Hang in there it will get easier. Sounds like you are making progress. Sending a hug and warm thoughts your way.
