I disagree that “... the people giving her a hard time in her life were the a-holes.”. In fact, I think they are being kind and I am surprised that her former boss did not already file a restraining order. I do also feel sorry for Ruby but right now Ruby does not need a pity fest. She needs a reality check from us otherwise she will get a reality check in the mail and it will be harder to deal with the situation.
I have experienced and witnessed situations in which a person was acting much more mild then Ruby yet the consequences were much worse.
Unfortunately most don’t care about others’ MH conditions thus act in a very cold manner. I think Ruby got lucky in this situation and still has not yet faced that cold mannered and harsh behavior.
