I really feel for you.

I'm glad you're having a better day!

Take heart. None of this is your fault.

It might be useful, though, to look at anti-bullying laws in your state. Employers, remember, have to provide a safe work environment.

Not that you are going to sue her, but it might enlighten you as to the potentially disastrous effects on mental health and family life. The law does take it seriously.

Similarly, mental health charities can give terrifying info about the dangers of bullying at work.

You still seem, if you don't mind me saying so, at the stage where you are trying to understand her. Or make yourself like her. I think in America, that's called bargaining. Or, denial. Or Stockholm Syndrome...

Sorry. I really am here to support you, and wish I could be more positive.
