Hello honor: The short answer here is, at least from my perspective, I don't think you do (withdraw that is) especially if you want to preserve your working relationship with this person. That simply won't happen, I don't believe. My recommendation is to just do what you have to do to get through this & view it as a lesson learned for the future.

I see this is your first post here on PC. So... to PsychCentral… from the Skeezyks! May the time you spend here be of benefit.

PsychCentral is a great place to get information as well as support for mental health issues. The more you post, & reply to other members’ posts, the more a part of the community you will become. Plus there are social groups you can join & chat rooms where you’ll be able to connect with other PC members in real time (once your first 5 posts have been reviewed & approved.) Lots of great stuff! So please keep posting!
