Hi all,
Thanks very much for your kind comments and support . . . it means a lot to have this type of social support to discuss these things. Yesterday was a bit nerve wrecking as I felt out of sorts and since I would have to face that person again it was even harder. I went to the gym in the morning and did my usual workout and she was there. She never looked sideways at me but I could feel the tension. When I went to my cubicle she was in hers and we made brief eye contact and went about our respective days. Unfortunately, I could not let it go . . . those comments were hurtful. So I went to her cubicle and asked to talk to her with a neutral third party mediator (CAF policy for alternative dispute resolution). She agreed and the meeting is set up for today. Keeping my fingers crossed things maintain a civil semblance.
I feel a bit better today but still having a hard time looking at myself in the mirror albeit not as bad as yesterday . . . guess I am healing.
Cheers
Marcelle
