If your wife could do this without injuring her health further, and if she was able to hold out a bit, since she is resigning anyway, see the doctor, document everything thoroughly, see the lawyer, and he/she will probably recommend you put something in writing to see what response will be. As in I have been abused in the following way in the following times...and here is what I want to see happen. You are in such a happy spot knowing you can leave the situation..many people can not...if they retaliate (here's almost hoping they do)go after the bully's manager and only incidently the bully. He or she is the either stupid or responsible one here, unless bully is so clever (and many are) as to totally hide her tracks. The people who allow bullying (and don't get me started on the idiots I have seen in schools who tolerated it) are worse than the bullies. mg
