I agree you can't change them, nor should you expect to. You have to change how you view yourself, in order to show them what you will and will not accept, which also involves respecting yourself enough, to know you are worth it. If you don't respect yourself, how can you expect someone else to?Ms. Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06263882972749791087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321465419026254120.post-69407827671727221962011-09-28T14:00:21.256-05:002011-09-28T14:00:21.256-05:00I just watched the movie pleasantville for the fir...I just watched the movie pleasantville for the first time, yesterday - it was awesome, and I thought of you.<br /><br />I'm wondering if you've ever looked into CoDA? I don't want to tell you what to do, but the issues you describe in your relationship sound OH so familiar, and ascertiveness is something we can learn. It's helped me a lot. <br /><br />The one thing I've learned beyond a doubt is you can't change someone else. They may decide to change, and they may not, but you sure can't change them. What you can do is change yourself, and in so doing, you can set boundaries that make it harder for someone to take advantage of you. It's a skill so many of us didn't learn in childhood. We were taught we had no right to say no, to stand up for ourselves, and it comes through in every relationship we have... including the ones we have with ourselves.Shenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635993168913490929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321465419026254120.post-34730195981395225362011-09-28T13:11:59.370-05:002011-09-28T13:11:59.370-05:00The guy you like on dancing with the stars, is the...The guy you like on dancing with the stars, is the one I like also!!
