Dear "Colleagues,"
I haven't seen you in almost a year and yet each day I feel as if I will come around a corner and there you will be.
Lying.
Cheating.
Gossiping.
Disrespecting.
Gaslighting.
Maintaining your power.
Making fun of students.
You were horrible to me but I really cannot forgive how you laughed at and made fun of students. I wish they had better.
I feel a deep need to understand why you treated me so low. I made a lot of mistakes and exerted a lot of effort trying to please you and do my job the best I could.
Yet you looked down on me from day 1. Ignored me, went behind my behind my back, acted like I was an alien.
I want to know that you feel badly for what you did. I doubt you even give me a second thought because I am no longer there challenging you.
I wish I could leave behind the hurt I feel from my time being your "colleague."
