There is an entire army of non-...you are not alone. There is an entire army of non-confrontational, sensitive people. Experiencing this at work currently and 1. people don't like it when you finally DO stand up for yourself, because they are used to/comfortable with walking all over you like a door mat. 2. it can make things stressful for a time. However, it WILL just continue on as is, unless you kick up a fuss on your own behalf. Remember all the energy you spent, draining yourself to "care for" Jake? Probably exhausted yourself. Take a fraction of that time and energy, and look after yourself. It would be so awesome if you did. I would do cart wheels and everything. Then maybe I could follow your example and try sticking up for myself once or twice.

I refuse to be like that...My parents are like that. I refuse to be like that. While I am NOT a bitch, I refuse to be walked on. REFUSE. And I always get what I deserve.

Like last weekend I took the dog to pet smart so they could grind her nails and all I wanted was a nail grinding. Well...I look at the invoice and it's for 16 bucks when it should be for 11. so something was wrong...I spoke up and they totally gave me attitude and I felt freakin horrible. And in the end I thought...why did I have to speak up, it's only 5 bucks, but I was right and they were charging me for a service I didn't want! So...I was glad I spoke up in the end even if it caused anxiety!Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04396173896841382802noreply@blogger.com
