Dear Pen, This morning I woke up thinking about your experience. I think you should speak to an attorney who deals with disability cases to find out whether or not you can sue your previous employer on the grounds of mental cruelty or something like that. Your employer knew you had dyslexia and hired you to do a job that required very little writing. Without your knowledge, your boss changed your job description and started to give you writing assignments. If you had known that the job required a lot of writing, you probably would not have applied for the position in the first place.

What was she trying to do to you? Did she have fun making fun of you!!! Was she laughing at you!!!! Does she enjoy making fun of a person who has a disability!!! Would she ask a cripple to run a marathon? Would she ask a blind person to read a book? Would she offer a diabetic candy? If she knew her friend could not conceive a baby, would she ask her friend when she plans to have a child? Would she buy a bald man, a comb?

Your ex-boss is a very cruel, heartless person. I wish you could send her a letter from an attorney stating that she is personally being sued. Perhaps, she too will have sleepless nights and crying spells.

Don't let this horrible person get to you. You worked hard to prove to yourself that you are not stupid. You are a very smart person who has accomplished many things. Dyslexia is a misunderstood condition. It is up to us to show the world we are capable of doing many things. As Ron Davis said "dyslexia is a gift."

Good luck, my friend.
