Sidestep

 I called this post Sidestep because I will pull away from the main story for just a moment to vent and set some things straight.
 I want to make something clear.......I am well aware of the way I was portrayed when I worked there. I am aware that I was called a controlling asshole. I was made aware that it was told I was controlling, didn't want "her" talking to anyone and wouldn't let her go anywhere by herself and I watched her every move when I was there. Because she has everyone believing everything she says and manipulates people so they will believe her, that is exactly how people seen me. Human nature I guess. 
 Not sure I know anyone that would have put up with as much shit as I have or handled the stress any better. I was constantly told that people always thought I was in a bad mood because the way I looked. If they only knew. Not sure how many times I was told that people would ask my spouse, yes my spouse, what was wrong with me. Including admin on more than one occasion
Why not come ask me? There was absolutely no reason she needed to be asked that question. Depending on who asked, I am sure they got some fucked up response that was nothing more than me being degraded without any way of defending myself. Some of the questions were asked because of some of the posts I put on Facebook. People reading waaaay to deep into what I would post. So again, why not just come face to face and ask me what was wrong?
 No instead, they go by what they were told and went on believing they already knew what was wrong. I know that I looked pissed off a lot. A big part of that was....it was just the way I looked. My son carries the same pissed off look all the time. 
 If you can't come ask me or get to know me, don't judge me. I can't control what is said about me but I could have just as easily remedied the truth by someone taking the time to came talk to me or ask. Granted I wouldn't have said anything like what is being put in here as I couldn't afford to get fired. But at least people would have gotten to know ME instead of the garbage that was being said about me. Hopefully after this is said and done, people will realize there were hidden reasons and unduly amounts of stress that controlled my life.
 With that out of the way.......back to some more TRUE stories.
