I have to agree with Gene.  This sounds like an unstable situation, and
similar to one I found myself in early in my career.  I finally sought out a
counselor, who reframed the situation perfectly.  He said, "You have three
choices.  Tolerate it, fight it, or leave."  I knew I couldn't tolerate the
abuse, and quickly concluded that fighting it would be futile because my
boss's boss was crazy too.  So I left, and it was the best decision I ever
made.  Years later, the company was still dealing with the same problem
people.

Good luck, and feel free to contact me offlist if I can be of any help.

Bill
