I sort of agree with the others here. But, I can see why a lawsuit should be done also. Why should those "people" get away with all the abuse they did? Who is their next victim? Until someone steps in and refuses to let them get away with that sort of treatment, it will continue. I say contact that other coworker and have a conference with an attorney to see what they advise. However, you have to go with what's going to make you feel the best. We can't make that decision for you. I do know that I wouldn't have taken near as much crap as you did before doing something about it. Don't let yourself be others' doormats. You are much better than that. Don't let them take away the best part of you.
