I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PROUD of YOU!!!!!!! I wish YOU the best, keep your chin up, and be strong, and do NOT take any CRAP from anyone!!! NEVER! 

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!! 

Hi:) {{{hugs}}} Remember that this is not 'your' problem with alcohol and temperament. Keep a written record, with dates and facts and direct quotes. Any witnesses? Down the road, you may need the background info, so start keeping a log now. Congrats on keeping to your plan!!! Way to go!!! 

Unfortuanately, it is a private school and she is owner/Director/Principal ... she is a tightwad too...she remodels her kitchen, threw a huge wedding for her daughter but begrudges us for asking for supplies..we're supposed to either make it all out of paper or spend our own money...such is the life teaching.  

I hope you don't spend too much of your money making her private school profitable. If the students don't have the proper supplies maybe her attendance will go down along with her net income. I know you take alot of pride in being a teacher and want to do what is right for the kids but bottom line is this is her money. When you buy supplies she is netting the profit into her pocketbook in more than just the cost of the supplies. It can be very difficult to work for a tyrant in a small company situation. There is no human resourses department to go to. KEEP in mind she is probably really really JEALOUS because you look so good too. Alcoholics have many problems. Don't let her make you carry her baggage. Whats the worst she can do... fire you and then you can collect unemployment which costs her money so she won't fire you either. So keep reminding yourself that the worst that could happen isn't that terrible... it helps to mentally deal with the challenges of the day and gives you a mental lift up. I too work in this kind of situation at a construction co. I love my hours and my wages and spent many years as a single mom in fear of losing my job and having my boss make me feel like I would be worthless to any other company... HOWever I now realize that all that stress was making me soooooo sick and fat. As so as I started thinking what truly is the worst that this person could do to me.... and then realizing that it wasn't anything that I couldn't overcome... I stopped being so scared everytime he came into the room or walked by me. FREEDOM from their baggage. Hang in there and don't let her change all that you have worked for.
