My job is to solve problems quickly, not talk them to death.
Sometimes confidence (which I have a good amount of, always have, since I was a preschooler, I'm told) gets mistaken for something else. I'm still learning the fine arts of diplomacy and tact and how to "finesse" things. I'm a work in progress, what can I say?

LOL, the directness probably is a result of my education and experience in Journalism. It's directly contrary to my inborn tendency to react emotionally first (ask my family, they'll say I'm a drama queen). I honestly had to work at learning to think analytically, and when to use which side of my brain.
I really think that the situation that the OP sucks, but emotions aren't going to bring her to a solution. And by solution I don't necessarily mean "what she wants". I do hope that she finds peace in whatever does happen. The flip side of the sucky part is that she is part of a wonderful national organization for life - if she chooses to be.
