Like sanity?

Well, I don't know. I've never been one to let people walk all over me. I would write a list with the points I wanted to mention, bring it down, and calmly discuss all the problems. And then I would mention the money owed, including the date and time. If she won't be reasonable, go to her boss. Better yet, threaten to go to her boos first and see if she'll talk. If not, go over her head.

It doesn't work this way here. She could just kick me out at any given moment and I don't really have any rights. I mean it's not like a contract job or something I just work for room and board, and I have nowhere else to go and I really can't take any risks, and well every confrontation and every conflict with anyone, about anything, if it involves me it's a risk to me because for her she would bend reality as much as she can so that I would always come out the one at fault, and it gets me closer to getting kicked out because if she doesn't like me then nothing's gonna change her mind and I really don't wanna try to see how far I could stretch my "luck" Rolling Eyes Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

Read the Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. Simple 168 page little book of ancient Mexican philosophy that shows you how to control the "dream of your life". You can make it a good dream, or a nightmare, all based simply on your perception.

Really a life changing, yet totally sensible, little volume. Especially for someone in a yucky social situation. Amazing book.

Stop. Right now. This is not a situation to worry about what anyone else thinks kid. Listen carefully.

First, if you really think that there is a possibility that your friend might hurt himself or someone else, then you have a responsibility to get him some help. Forget about what your manager or anyone might think. How will YOU feel tomorrow if you DON'T call someone and he actually does do something violent? How will you feel knowing that you could have stopped it and didn't?

If you think that he MIGHT hurt himself or someone else, then you have a responsibility to HIM as well as to everyone around him to call 911 and get him some help. Talk to your manager first, if you think that is appropriate. IF your manager doesn't do anything, then call someone else yourself. If you don't trust your manager's judgment, and you don't feel confident enough to make the call to 911 yourself, then call another adult that you trust. Call SOMEONE and tell them. If nothing else, call the suicide hotline number yourself and explain the situation to them. Let them use their TRAINED, PROFESSIONAL judgment about the situation.

If you are scared- GET OUT OF THERE. Don't try to deal with the situation yourself. Call someone for him. Then haul ass out of there and go visit a friend. Or call a family member. Or call the police. DON'T try to handle this yourself.

You hear me little girl?

Now MOVE!
