Well, that was unpleasant.

We fired her. We said that it was a bad fit and not improving. She denied ever saying anything about the devil, recast the God story to make Alex's comment about the emperor of China the beginning of the conversation, and predicted that when we try with someone else we will find that Alex simply adjusts poorly to being left and none of this was her fault.

I can't think of anywhere else that Alex would have heard of the devil. We're very careful about media exposure, and her classmates all come from secular families.

We gave her a week of severance pay.

I feel surprisingly crappy for someone who just did the right thing for her child.

I'm sorry you had to go through this. Been there, it's awful. For our part, some of the awful feelings were that we were left wondering how we could have been so wrong in judging her in the first place. But 20/20 vision is so much clearer... Hopefully, you'll be able to feel less crappy quite soon.
