    Hi Tania,

    Be very proud of yourself for getting back on track and freeing yourself up to be fully with your husband.  Tell yourself every day of your life how lucky you are for all that you have.  The past has been and gone – you don’t need it any more.

    Thank you for the kind comments and compliments that have come my way – truly appreciated.

    Love

    Peggy

    Thank you everyone-

    I didn’t contact him this weekend. I was working so I was busy most of the time. I haven’t had urges to text, more like check his ‘stories’ on snapchat because I used to do that all the time (anyone on snapchat would know that those stories are just an ‘attention seeking–attention giving’ tool,  ha!) but Im no longer on the app. Good thing. I haven’t had facebook or instagram or any other social media in several years so that helps.

    Chloe Rose– thank you for sharing your experience. I can see why self hatred would make this worse or prolong this situation. I did some thinking and I also feel like the way Im treated at work can trigger some of my behavior. Im often yelled out and other things and when I go home I just want to go to a happy place. Im making my home, husband and doggy my happy place now. I’ll be finishing in this place in one year and hope to find a nice happy workplace as well.

    Will keep you updated and thanks again,

    Tania

    Gregory, you made me laugh 🙂

    I agree and I’d judge myself as well as I read my words and it all sounds terrible. It’s good that there are people that can point things out and help me gain perspective.

    Dear Tania:

    Good to read your positive update. You wrote that you are yelled at, in the workplace, did I understand correctly: one or more people at work yell at you? If this is the case, the yelling at you has to stop immediately, there has to be a way to make it happen!

    Hi anita,

    that’s right. I work in a very abusive environment. I’m in my last year of surgical training (7 years after medical school). Things have improved but we (especially surgery trainees) still experience a lot of abuse, mostly verbal. There’s a culture of bullying, toxicity, sexism and plain meanness. There’s also a lot of passive aggressive behavior and issues among the surgeons, lots of  drama. It’s taken a lot of action from the graduate medical association in the country to change the culture but it’s still there. I had some tough times a couple of years ago but now that I ‘have thicker skin’ like the surgeons say it doesnt bother me as much. At least not to the point of crying every night.

    In other words, the yelling out wont stop. At least not in the near future

    Dear Tania:

    So there is nothing legally or practically that can done to stop the verbal abuse and meanness in the hospital where you work ,in the country you live in, if I understand correctly. What a shame!
