Pardon my French, but screw them farging bastages !!(I love Johnny Dangerously, reckon I'm showing my age) You fight like hell if you have to. Not only will it empower you, it will help with your job search - they can't fire you "for cause" and then end up having to cover your unemployment benefit. Your future employer is smart enough to know that. And as for hubby pushing you to get back out there, remember, men don't think the way you do. He's either scared or just trying to make sure you get right back on that horse, before fear or depression sets in. As smart as you are, my guess is that it's the second option. I can't imagine you chose one who doesn't really support you 100%.......
