Yeah, I was doing the "tiger-woods-pumping-my-fist-in-the-air-sign-of-victory" when I read your post as well.

I think you handled a very triggering, very awful situation absolutely perfectly. Not only that, but you argued so elegantly for yourself and a rational approach for identifying child abuse.

I run across people like the speaker almost daily in my work. The "you suck as a person for not falling in line lock stock and barrel behind my beliefs" type people. It's tough stuff. They can shake you to the core, but you can't let them run roughshod over you or they will.

I also think you did the absolute right thing by walking out of the meeting. It certainly didn't sound as though there would be much beneficial for you there.

I see absolutely, positively no reason for you to apologize to the speaker. She was the one who made a fool of herself. Rather I would suggest that you congratulate yourself for handling her so well and standing up for the voice of reason and your own truth.

I'm glad you're home.

Seldom.
