how do you care or support for someone who asks for your help but then treats you like crap? Especially if that person is family. You can’t talk back to your parents or speak up for yourself because the world has tauught you since you were a kid to not talk back to ‘authority’ or ‘elders’ or ‘parents’ or ‘carers’. Then there are people who teach you that you should speak up for yourself, tell them what your thoughts or idea or opinion is….when you finally do it, it just seems to go the other way and you give up….stop trying, not bother, be pushed around and not be bothered about it…..when you give up it seems so ‘peaceful’.
its peaceful in a way it shouldn’t be. How do you talk to people knowing that they will look at you different and treat you different in either a good or bad way ans the couple of times you decide to talk they just seem to get bugged by it and you no longer want to bother them with your problems and becomes this paranoia that it’ll happen with everyone you know, becomes a constant thought that’ll cause you to rethink so much.
It can drag you down so much. Become lost. Confused. Lonely. Frustrated. Annoyed. Whatever……

It depends… I have people that treat me like crap, but I can take it and I know they are weaker.
I also have people who have treated me like crap that left me confused and devastated.
You can talk back to anyone… Be yourself. My words of caution are that if you do speak-up, be ready to defend yourself (read: be sure you are reasonably correct and not speaking out of emotion).
In the mean time, keep your stick on the ice and your fingers on the keyboard.
