Pam,
I didn't realize you had returned to work. I recall you mentioning the February 6 month
full time position. The "office politics" can be quite uncomfortable. I hope all turns out well.

db must have realized this situation with a 21 year old (not to mention her emotional issues) was not going to last. From the very beginning he was giving you mixed messages about his feelings for you. Can't help but wonder if he wanted to hold on to you with the hope you would be there to pick up the pieces when this was over. He obviously misjudged you.

The positive side of this is you finally taking the time to care for yourself. Feeling good about yourself appears to have had an effect on your health and appearance as well. The best is yet to come dear lady.
