Guest guest Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Still, I can relate so much to what your saying. I am a very non-confrontational person. For the most part I make no waves in life even if MANY times it has meant stifling my feeling of resentment and living with it for along time. I too have people who have verbal attached me and I do just what you said just freeze and let them. In the end it makes me feel victimized and then pissed because I let them. Before I understood what was going on I would buy self help book to help me learn how to stick up for my self..which really didn't help much. I believe these people..can sense something in us that we are easy prey..They can sense the weakness we have and they take advantage of that. In regards to builders specifically..some have very bad people skills to begin with,,they are use to dealing with construction workers and from my experience that is not a very professional behaving world:) Please be gentle with yourself..you are not faulty..you are growing and learning to behave in different ways. I know you are learning because you put that boundary up with this builder by walking away! even at your financial loss. Your husband I'm sorry to say seems very non assertive and no confrontational as well. But you can't change him....you CAN and seems like are already beginning to change YOU!. Don't give up....rest a bit... regain your strength..then straighten your shoulder lift up your chin and face the world with out letting it push you around! Someone in another group suggested to me that I take some self defense classes. It teaches you the self confidence we are missing. I am seriously looking into this as soon as I get back to work and have the funds for it..this may be an option for you as well. Suicide is the worst thing you can do! Quite frankly it's a very cowardly act..and hurts so many people. I know your intention isn't to cause others pain. If you are still feeling this was please muster up all the strength you have and call 911 or suicide prevention because if you are thinking this way you are not at that moment in your right mind..and certainly would not want to make such permanent decisions while you are momentarily not in your right mind. I send you Lots of Love and Prayers your way.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 ((((((((stilltooraw)))))))) If someone hits us and breaks our leg, we go get it taken care of properly by the doctor so that the injury can heal straight and not give pain when we walk. But when we have been wounded emotionally as children by our own parents and other family of origin, somehow we feel ashamed about it and reluctant to seek out a doctor to help us heal. Its not wrong or bad or an admission of weakness or failure to seek help for the injuries you received as a child to your heart and spirit and mind. I hope you will look for a therapist who has experience treating the adult survivors of child abuse, or the adult children of the personality disordered, or the adult children of substance abusers. The psychological injuries inflicted are pretty similar. Meanwhile, we're here for you. We understand what growing up being emotionally, or physically or sexually abused does to a person. -Annie > > I have spilt ties from Nada and all family three years ago. I have done a lot of healing and growing, but this one thing keeps knocking me off of my feet. It seems that every once in a while, I run into someone that spews verbal venom at me. It's usually in a business situation. Most of the time when it happens, I am so totally stunned and taken aback that I don't say anything. The frequency of this has been occurring more and more. I am a soft spoken, nice, agreeable person, and can't for the life of me understand why this keeps happening! I try to look over our history to see if I did anything to antagonize them, and the answer is always no! I just am not like that. A few years ago when my hubby and I bought this house, the female builder was so mean! I didn't get half of the choices I wanted, because she was soabrasive to deal with. It made me hate the house, her, myself for not standing up to her better, and my husband for not coming to my defense. A few months a go, I tried to buy a new house, and went in with the intention of correcting any of the builder's(a different one) bad behavior at the start. Well she turned psycho too, and I set her straight. It was very shaky and we stressed every detail, wondering how it was gonna go minute to minute, when it happened again! This time was so bad! She said some horrible personal things to me, yelled at me, and talked down to me like I was an idiot. The entire time my husband sat there, and said nothing. I told her that her behavior was uncalled for, and then my husband continued on talking to her like it never happened! I stormed out. My husband folled behind me like a dog at my heels. I cancelled the house. By doing this, we are losing somewhere between $7000 and $9000 dollars! I signed the contract, it says I forfit the money. I simply can't let anyone treat me that way EVER again! My husband and I are on really shaky terms. We have been married 24 years, and he knows all about my abusive family history, yet will not take up for me, and I'm afraid it's going to cost me my marriage as well. I am so damn distraught, I am thinking of suicide. I have been abused in one way or another all of my life. I simply can not take one more of these episodes! He is scared to death of anyone the slightest bit aggressive, and he had a great upbringing! I don't know what I can do. Please help me. Somebody.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 I say 2 things: 1) Good for you for walking out. 2) Some people are just assholes. Put up your deflector sheilds and walk out, get away, move on. Can you sue them for the money? Maybe character assasination? Hugs hugs hugs!
