But in the end, I felt it would be better for my health and recovery to just leave and go do my own thing. The funny bit about all this is, once I got out of his shadow and opened my own shop, my career just shot up. So funny. He was actually holding me back from my true potential. What a jerk.

Thank you for sharing this! I hope you were able to find healing. Have you been able to share your experience with others? It sounds like he was a classic narcissist. I am so sorry you experienced this!


I have heard a lot about academia culture. It is horrible. I'm actively researching university campuses and institutional betrayal. It seems it is EXTREMELY COMMON.


Do you still work in academia?

Thanks,
