Hello everyone! It looks like I may be hanging around even more than usual. This evening I had a terrible experience at my one of many different volunteer positions. Actually, I carry multiple designations for this one too because I like to serve in many ways. Anyway, I won’t be returning to it. Should have done so a decade ago but a nope later is better than a nope never.
Hidden - click arrow to expand. Story pretty mild and I left out all the details. Nothing shocking compared to what happens in the world but abusive and toxic nevertheless for a very long time.
I have volunteered with a Scouts group for ages, contributing to it like a real job. Tonight, the head Scouter (self-styled, his wife actually is the Group Commissioner - he isn’t anything but struts around like Trump) gathered everyone AFTER I officiated of opening ceremony and gave words of wisdom to live by at what we call a spiritual. The short of it was I was told on the spot who was boss and supreme leader, that my role was to be given to another and that I was to leave the building. After 10 years of gas lighting and other toxic behaviour that many youth have been emulating and disrespecting me, it is the perfect time to say NO. I will leave as asked.
