Been there. Done that. At the time the argument against me was: perception is reality. When in fact it was only a few people's reality. I walked away and once the nondisclosure date had expired I went on the air and in the newspapers to set MY record straight. But, it's been a struggle ever since to stay afloat, keep my good name good and to find work in the field that I so love.

People always have 3 choices: fight, flee, or go with the flow. If you resist and fight right now, you give him/her more ammunition and attention. The only place you have to flee to is another job offer or agency. So it's best to play dead for awhile and go with the flow.

First, take care of yourself. Both long and short term. Keep a roof over your head and food on the table. You can dream and scheme better on a full stomach and with a dry, clear head. Take yourself out of the equation and give yourself time and space to regroup and look at the situation objectively. Let them fail without you and they will.

I use this coffee cup to remind me to keep moving forward.

Never ignore those who care for you
you will have lost diamonds
while you were collecting stones

Oh god we, I'm so sorry.

I don't think you're really asking for advice here (and I wouldn't know what to advise, if you were). And I don't blame you for feeling pride in what you built (I don't think it's ego exactly - you care about the organization!).

I hope you'll let us know how this turns out?

May all be well, and all be well, and all manner of thing be well....remember, your record for getting through crappy times so far is 100% and you've been through some rough stuff.

This is painful, and horrible, and complicated - and I'm so sorry you're going through it - but when all is said and done, no one dies. That's the good thing.

You'll figure it out... and whatever you choose is the best choice you can make at this time. Hold on to that.

Ahhh dammit...I was hoping this extended absence from posting was because you were off in Tahiti, drink in hand, sweet young cabana boy at your beck and call, living the easy life.

BIg hugs - and much strength and fortitude to move forward - whatever that looks like. You know I'm rooting for you and sending you bucketfuls of love. xoxo

Always tell the truth
Use kind words
Keep your promises
Giggle and laugh
Be positive
Love one another
Always be grateful
Forgiveness is mandatory
Try new things
Say please and thank you
Say your prayers
Smile

No advice here, either, other than just to reiterate that we're all pulling for you. In similar situations, this ego considers what happens if he is hit by a truck this afternoon.

The id is almost hoping you get to wear a wire, and a fabulous book deal and screenplay result.

As lovely as it is to see you after all this time, I am sorry to read this particular post.

I don't have any advice, only a suggestion: remember to be kind to yourself.

xo (formerly . . . well, you'll know who)

WE, like all your other friends, fans, and ones who love you for the wonderful person you are, and for all you do for others, I too send my sincere thoughts and blessings your way.

As everyone here knows, you're strong and we all feel sure you'll survive this bump in the road with battle armor intact and no blood loss. I hope the journey gets easier for you.

Think of you and your family first, after all, what good can you do if you're in the shoes of those who you've been so good to protect for all those years. Leave the retribution and punishment to those who throw stones against you to God, He always evens the score. We just may not know about it...but it gets done.

Strength and continued admirable wisdom to you always.

Ah wicked, I am sorry to learn of this, and to be so late in even arriving at your blog. I agree with your friends who have encouraged you to make taking care of yourself and your son first, and letting the battle go. LadyLuck2 said it all better than I can. Remember that those who know you, and the work and effort you have put into the last 12 years, will always admire and support you for both who you are and what you have done. The small minds and self serving personalities who have instigated this will also eventually be revealed for what they are. Please know that there are many folks who care for and support you....even though some of us can only offer a few simple words of encouragement from afar. As always, a big hug and wishes for all the best.
