My side of the story doesn't matter anymore. Life happened, it hurt, I healed, but most importantly I learned who deserves a seat at my table and who will never sit at it again.
Correct. I didn't want to resign. I still want to teach & conduct research. However, my well-being is no 1. I believe people talk about how cruel I am to cut them off. They should look at themselves in the mirror & understand the reasons.
