Message: I am really struggling with the fact that my ex-boyfriend is now my boss. We dated 5 years and were going to be married but I broke it off because he was too controlling and 1 year later he is now my boss. Now he has control again. He controls my job, my vacation, sees my phone records, has DAILY meetings. I have to go to work and see him and hear him the first thing almost EVERY morning. I have such a struggle with this and the fact that the company I work for allowed this to happen to me. I've worked there 15 years and a good employee. It's been a year now and I can't seem to shake this feeling. I think it's more about principle - people (management) shouldn't have let this happen. I've talked to girlfriends and they say they could never deal with it. So then, why doesn't a company know how this can mess with someone's mind. I haven't seen a posting like this - has this only happened to me? I'm 47 - early retirement age - probably? very hard for me to find another job. I feel really stuck, depressed, cornered, controlled...the list goes on - any help/advice would grealy be appreciated.
