I especially liked how you "are not trying to change the attackers behavior" but simple protecting yourself and hopefully they will learn over time what is acceptable and what is not. I think everyone probably knows some one they could rely on this tactic for. <em>teeni's last blog post..<a href='http://vtroom.wordpress.com/2008/03/30/live-poets-society-completed-assignment/' rel="nofollow">Live Poet's Society Completed Assignment</a></em> Great points.

I have a very hard time setting boundaries when people treat me badly, and I have to remove myself from the situation. I have a small family here and fortunately I am lucky they treat me well. <em>Cynthia Blue's last blog post..</em><a href='http://www.lunatail.com/2007/12/05/wordless-wednesday-nails/' rel="nofollow">Wordless Wednesday Nails</a> When i was going through Codependency recovery one of the things that was said that hit home was “we teach people how to treat us”.

Occasionally I've had to deal with this from loved ones. I stand my ground, but I'm firm within my beliefs. I won't back down. I do calmly remind them how I respect them even if I don't agree with them, and I'm just asking for the same thing in return. If that does not work I do mention that this is not the time to discuss this issue. The last time this happened was a few years ago. My aunt was concerned about veganism. She wasn't hearing me at that point so giving her facts was wasted. She would not let go of the issue although her information was wrong. I didn't allow myself to get angry. I responded to her calmly after a while I told her this (a dinner) was not the time to be discussing the issue. She did call me a few days later and apologized for her behavior. <em>Opal Tribble/Vegan Momma's last blog post..</em><a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/veganmomma/khQh/~3/195441510/' rel="nofollow">Guest Posting & Exercise From a Vegan Perspective</a> This is an excellent post.
