I didn't tell anyone, not even my family. I found the constant need for dissimulation
burdensome. Hence the change.I am so sorry about what happened to you, jennyann. I hope you can find a more enlightnend
and supportive employer soon. I don't think you should feel badly that you told the truth.
If there is anything to feel badly about, it's that some people, to quote a bad movie,
"can't handle the truth." Keep your head high and don't look back.
