Elizabeth, I'm sorry for the loss of your job and how it transpired. It's incredible the lengths some people go to, to ostracize those who threaten or make them feel uneasy. I'm sure many of us can relate! You know, I once read a good quote in the Chronicle of Higher Education, which may apply to your situation. May I include it here, for your consideration? "Do you look like, sound like, act like, the people already entrenched in the job? The idea of "good fit" has indeed kept out people of other races, sexual orientations, and languages -- and such an exclusive, clubby atmosphere is illegal, immoral, and soul-deadening."
Best of luck in finding a new job, one worthy of your talents and personal contributions. In the meantime, give yourself the gift of renewed focus on your health and self esteem. You're worth it, so don't give it away to them! (((hugs)))
