To add insult to injury when I got home I waited till after the kids went to bed. I started to talk with my husband about how I had a bad day and the Boss was criticizing me in front of the team about a decision I made. I totally ran it by him 2 times he even liked my idea and now he’s totally denying it! He threw me under the bus and everyone is piling on with these jokes and a “I can’t believe you did that” attitude. While describing this to my husband I then got a “why did you let that happen?” “never take the blame for something you didn’t do!” Now 😥 breaking down I said, “well, I took time to pause and say we had to do it this way because “somebody” (boss) couldn’t make a decision. I was shocked 😯 that he threw me under the bus and realized he had no recollection that he gave approval. I felt so angry 👿 I could storm out but or yell at him. I was trying not to overreact and make my boss look bad to the team. I wanted the joking to end. I told him I’ll fix it and then confront him alone. As I’m calming my self down the crying rushes over me. Lip trembles, voice cracks. I could not talk to him. Does ADHD medication work for keeping your cool? I’m only on 200mg Zoloft.

Thanks for your post Geoduck. I try so hard to avoid those situations.
