Sox made a very good point. I too did not talk about what was going on in my home. I never asked for help. I never talked to my family and friends about things that were happening in the house. In fact, a lot of the verbal stuff that was going on I didn't realize until much later.

It was my boss that sensed that things weren't right and talked to me one day. While I was taken back by it, I also was defensive. It took me a while but after a few bizarre events, I knew what I had to do. (Mental illness was involved here). Bless my bosses heart! When I came to decision to leave I asked for time off to move. Not only did he give me a few days off, he gave some of the employees (men) time off to help me move and one of the girls in the office the day off to be with me.

Never did I say the things this girl has said. So, maybe she is seeking attention.
