Sounds like an awful situation, Catwoman.  My only suggestion would be to write down, in your own handwriting, the outcome that YOU desire, and refer to that very often throughout the day.  That and a good devotional time in the morning before work are the only way that I have ever been able to get through tough situations.  Between the two of those and working like a dog to stay on top of things, you should be able to focus on the behaviors that will help you achieve staying there.  Adding or beefing up your exercise regimen will be helpful, too, since you are under so much stress.  You are smart to be looking elsewhere, in the meantime, though, just in case you are viewed as being so tied to your boss that they feel they have to let you go, too.  I hope that you have a good friend outside of work that will let you vent and give you support.  I also think you need to go out of your way to maintain your other office relationships, even if it means extra time in the office, to make it look as though you are still for the company and not just helping him, if, indeed, they are trying to push him out.  Of course, you'll need to keep the conversation on track and off your boss.  If you ever wanted to be a great actress, it sounds like now is the time.  Here is a big :::::HUG:::::, a serious look straight into your eyes <..>, and all the encouragement I can offer in this medium!
