When under attack

If someone really powerful is after you and you do not think you can get a fair shake, prepare an exit strategy. I've posted earlier that one should not leave mad or too easily – we need to hold out as long as possible for the youth's sake. However, there are times when a position is untenable (In 40 years I only submitted my resignation under duress once, and, in the end, we worked it out and I stayed).
If you have to leave, however, please read my posts about leaving a group. Your problems are probably not the kids fault (their parent's maybe, but not the kids). They deserve a proper separation.
