feeling beat up

well, i am going on almost a week of the flu (really bad and not able to leave the house). so i am trying to get stuff done from the couch and realize i am extra sensitive, but am crying because of an incident...

my old apartment never sent me my security deposit. so i went to get it taken care of- when i called the building manager (who was an awful human being and always treated everyone SO badly), before she even checked anything she said to me either i am lying or deliquent and never paid my last month's rent, but she would check it out. she called me to tell me that she was right- i was lying and never paid a security deposit. upon my own investigation, i realized the problem was that the "one month free" rent deal that they had advertised was not listed in my lease, and neither was the fact that i paid a security deposit. nothing legal i can do and that's not the point. they stole money from me and had the nerve to make me feel awful as they did it. so i called her boss (who both my mom and i had talked to before after many problems including a 3 gas leaks that they didn't fiz and made me sick) and he made my mom sound stupid and was awful to me too. i ended up crying and feeling like the two of them had ganged up to beat me up and take my money. i am going to drop it because i can't win, but i want someone to believe me and be nice to me! i have learned from my mistakes, but i am really sensitive to being treated badly and there was nothing i could do to stop these people from acting like this to me. i hate it.

stuff like this makes me feel all of the little girl feelings again like i am being abused- i know it hurts more than it should. it's that feeling that someone is doing something so awful to me when no one else can see andthere is nothing i can do about it. i wish i could sue them for a million dollars! :)
