I know, I know. I still go over and over it in my mind and I'm still shocked by it. I got the "it wasn't planned, so it doesn't matter" lecture. "now you can go back to normal." Normal?! ugh....

There is no HR. She is HR. And the union? I am not a member. I doubt they would have done anything for me. The little guy can't fight the big companies. I probably could have sued, but they would have denied denied denied. And I would be left without an income in the end. Of course, I am highly employable, being 25 and skilled at what I do...... but the fear and confusion stopped me from defending myself. I regret that every day. I have to look her in the eye every day. I try to kill her with kindness.

I guess I did what I had to do to protect my income. Sad my baby had to come second to a job.

Thank you for your thoughts. Much appreciated.
