Yes I have to add my two cents worth and let you know honeypig how useful these posts are in so many areas of my life! Came here at first for dealing with my RAD, but today just came home from spending time with a very self absorbed "friend". After her taking a phone call, numerous texts back & forth fighting with her daughter, finally had enough & told her I had to leave. She looked surprised, realized after reading this excerpt that I'm starting to tap into my own power, I don't have to take rude behavior from anyone anymore!
There are things I can do, and today I decided to walk away. Feels very empowering!
