How does one move on when your self worth has been destroyed by a boss

A manger who was at the same level as I was promoted by default as there was no one else to do the job when the last manager resigned. She is an ex-pat who wanted to change everything when she took over and we did not see eye to eye on many issues, and because I was never a "yes Boss Person" we were on opposite sides. Last year she decided I must go so she hatched an amazing scheme to prove how incompetent I was as a manager, this after almost 10 years of excellent management from my side. Now that I have left she continues to blacken my name in the company and I find myself still having to defend my reputation. Now the world economy is in turmoil and work is scarce I find it difficult to pick up the pieces and move on, as I feel worthless and incompetent and unemployable anymore. I feel anger and hatred to wards this person which goes against everything I believe in. but at times I find myself playing out these scenarios on how to make her feel the same pain she has put me through

I firmly believe that you sow what you reap ,but the reaping seems to take so long in coming. How does one move on from here??????

Though it may sound trite and shallow, but you have to get up and move on. The main aim of this person was to destroy your confidence and when you wallow like this, you give her an winning hand.

Your anger is very justified but don't give into it. On the other hand, channel it into finding success for yourself so that you can show this person how capable you are. Remember no one can make you feel incompetent unless you allow them to do so. Just close your mind to all the criticism and find your destiny.

No one can make you feel unwanted and worthless unless you allow them to be. By doing just what this vile person wanted, you are handing her, her victory. Snap out of it today and start fighting in every possible way till you clear your name.

A great thankyou for all the advice, I have taken all your advise and have now moved on, I have started my own business and after a few months the work has now finally started comming in. It is great that i am so bussy working that I barely think of my previous situation. Now that my business is starting to get on its feet ,I have been approached by a few companies with job offers. Amazing how when you keep your mind off the negative, things start comming right. And the fact that companies are offering me jobs has boosted my confidance hugely. - back on top.

Once again thanks for all the advice
