I will try to condence this as much as possible.  It is the first time I have spoken of this.  3 years ago I had the perfect job.  I loved what I did,  got along well with my coworkers,  made good money.  Icing on the cake,  it was within walking distance from my home.  After working there for about 6 months,  my boss became sexually abusive.  At first it was verbal.  He said things to me that I could not repeat If I wanted to.  Filthy,  degrading,  disgusting things that I had ever heard in my life (and I am 50!!) I told him on several occasions that he had crossed the line and asked him to stop.  Everything was OK after that, for about a week. He resumed his harassment and was starting to become physical (leaning against me,  whispering dirty stuff in my ear,  trying to hold my hand.  It was humiliating and unprovoked.  For various reasons I decided to keep it to myself and avoid him as much as possible.  Eventually,  by internalizing my feelings,  they started to effect my health.  I missed a lot of work,  and finally had to resign (after 3 years).  I have applied for and have been offered a few jobs.  I have been unemployed for 4 years.  When a prospective employer calls to verify my employment,  he lies for me and says I was there for a lot longer then I actually was.  I'm sure he does that because, although I told no one why I left,  I'm pretty sure he knows why.  Trying to get a job after being out of work for 4 years,  with not much of a reason as to why I left that job,  is almost impossible.  My current problem is that I am applying for a job that requires a polygraph.  If I lie on my resume,  I will probably fail the polygraph.  I'm afraid telling the truth will definitely make me look "high maintenance " and I still won't get a job.  So,  that's it.  What do I do?
