First I would like to say: a friend sent me an e-card that states "A FRIEND IS SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES IN YOU EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN YOURSELF" I BELIEVE IN EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU - GODS SPEED.
My God - I am shocked at the amount of abuse out there.
My boss sexually and mentally harassed me and my co-worker. I was not fired. I finally developed a severe anxiety attack and my doctor pulled me out of work (disability) I got a letter the next day stating I had voluntarily quit my employment. I am lucky in that I have unconditional support from my husband and an attorney. I have heard horror stories on how many attorneys women have to talk to before one is brave enough to take it on. But what I feel I see many many feel. Alone, mistrustful, confused and guilty. I have always said if it makes you feel dirty it's wrong. My boss just to show a few examples: asked if I had every been with an uncircumcized man: when a client was arrested for masturbating in public he said it was because my co-worker was not there to satisfy him so what was he suppose to do. It went on and on.
