I actually felt a little better getting that big piece off of my chest...I actually felt "ashamed" going to an attorney (who was frothing at the mouth lol)..not only does it fall under the ADA, when I was told to not seek out HR anymore, that was retaliation as well.

A large part of me is SO grateful that I never EVER have to return their again...I do have to face "them" at a hearing towards the end of the month...I haven't yet figured out how I'm going to manage that, I'm going to have to dig WAY deep for that strength!!!

I would never EVER dream of treating anyone how I was treated. I have to put faith in this system...and pray that none of them ever find themselves in my position...I wouldn't wish that on anyone...

As difficult as it has been, advocating for myself makes me feel like I'm also advocating for others in my position as well. It feels right and it feels good.
