I have the same issues as you with authority figures. I find it difficult to stand up to them. I did finally start standing up for myself after much counseling.
I know my issue comes from very little self-esteem. Now that I've taken the chance and started speaking out, it's gotten easier, but still a work in progress.
It was difficult to do. But I feel like I have more control over myself and my emotions.
Good luck!
