"Accept it and move on" seems like really good advice until I try it. It does not work.

I am working with Mobile Crisis to see if they have a therapist that can help me. Mine can't. She has no experience with BULLYING AMONG OLDER FOLKS, only with children. I read in a book that there has been done VERY LITTLE RESEARCH on the subject of BULLYING AMONG OLDER ADULTS (a book written by Robin P. Bonifas) but what research she has done shows that it is widespread and that nothing much is being done about it. I have run into this. The Director of our Senior Center has no clue what to do in this situation. I doubt she has any training on how to solve this kind of situation, and she does not even really see it as a problem that needs solving. She sees ME as the "problem" that won't go away instead. Because I keep asking her to handle it.
