You did the self-affirming (and I think, right) thing by standing up for yourself... unfortunately you have no control over people reacting badly to it. I'll give you an extreme and obviously irrational example: I cut off contact with my family last year and within a month I had a very expensive at-fault accident and my apartment burnt down. They're totally unrelated to my family, but it took me a long time to stop thinking that those events happened as a result of standing up for myself.
