Re-reading what I just posted, I realize that it is the exact same dilemma/advice/experience of dealing with a ****** relationship!
If you had/have the courage to leave or transform a relationship with an alcoholic or addict, you can translate that experience directly!
I love that when we post our learnings on SR to share with others, the sheer act of writing them can gift us with our own epiphanies!!
We deserve feeling valued & respected - in our intimate relationships & also at our jobs! (Ok, epiphany for me, anyway! Hahaha!)...
