Hi Internettie, I was wondering how it went. I had a feeling it was going to turn out like that. Anyone who would say something like that is not going to have an appropriate reaction when she is called on it. She sounds toxic and has a lot of work to do. I'll bet she had a really bad upbringing and terrible experiences.
You did do a great job!
I used to be afraid of confrontation. I would shake but I would force myself to do it anyway. One time my face was completely white because I was so scared! What helped me to get over it was to realize that I was so overwhelmed by it because all of my feelings from the past were coming back at that exact moment and knocked me a good one. So I would just tell myself that this moment is not the past. The past is over and only exists in my mind. Plus I processed the feelings that I had about my past experiences and beliefs about myself.
What really scares people about this woman is her anger and this happens because of an angry person in the past, most likely a parent. So when a person sees her angry it takes the other person all the way back to when they were a small and helpless child. Not a good place to be but no one is that small helpless child anymore (except in their minds).
