I am thankful to you and everyone who has given me advice. I admit that I was trying to give the manager the benefit of the doubt because I was reminded that "he is a human being too." But, recently, his actions indicated that now he has turned into an animal and he will now be treated as an animal.
A special thanks to the person who posted the linked to the workplace bullying website because that was especially helpful and has opened my eyes a great deal.
Slowly I am feeling empowered again and calming my agitations down because I am seeing things from a different point of view and am even fighting back in a nice way.
