I don't give advise, but, since doing a lot of self esteem and Codependency work I would never allow anyone to bully me ever again. I'd use whatever I have available to stop a rotten bully in their tracks! Prior to going into therapy, Codependents Anonymous and studying Self Esteem systems, I was a sitting duck for bullies of every kind! Now bullies don't come anywhere near me because they instinctively know that I am no longer BULLY-BAIT and will make their lives unbearable if they mess with me!
re: "If there's a right way to do this tell me."
jim: I don't give advise but, if this was my situation, I'd find some way to get a backbone and then put those pathetic bullies IN THEIR PLACE!
good luck,
jim
