Black Friday
First I want to say, I worked really hard to get this job. At first I loved it all the people were nice and my boss was amazing! I usually don't become friends with co workers, but I felt comfortable enough I put my wall down and allowed me and my boss to become close. She is about 20 years older than me and naturally became a mother figure to me. I even called her mom and she would refer to me as her daughter and for months I was happy.
Then black Friday came and she invited me to go shopping. I agreed to meet up with her and things were going smoothed as usually until we ran into an ex girlfriend of mine. Once she became aware of me being bisexual things between us changed. She started inviting me to church with her. Making comments about certain lifestyles lead to the road of hell. I ignored the comments for the most part, and started to distance myself from her. I stopped answering her personal calls and would just text back with an excuse of why I couldn't answer the phone. Instead of eating lunch together in her office I would eat lunch in the cafeteria with my other coworkers.
She felt the distance and one day she sent me a text inviting me to her house for dinner. I foolishly accepted. It was me, her and 3 other ladies. She introduced me to them as her daughter and told them how proud of me she was, and how great I was doing at work. It started to feel like before. Then after dinner things took a turn for the weird. We started holding hands in a circle and they began praying to God to "free me of this wickedness." They took turns giving me testimony about the greatness of God and all I had to do is ask for his help. This went on for about 30 minutes. I finally had enough and got up and left. I cut off all ties, stopped responding to phone calls and text messages. Outside of work emails I ignored all communication. To get me back she has given me a "promotion" I work in a different building, different hours doing something I hate. This whole thing has brought on depression and anxiety for me. I know I need to find another job but right now my mental is not into it.
