When my brother doesn't respect my wishes... I often have to get to a point of screaming and acting hysterical. He always acts like that means I am weird. I have told him before it is because when I say the word no... there is no respect for that. They only thing he listens to is screeching of my voice.
I have several serious illnesses but because they aren't deadly right now... no one cares. IMHO not even my doctors. They want to wait until they are serious. Um, no I want them nipped in the bud right now. So as with everything, I am on my own.

I'm so sorry. I really work to stay away from people who don't respect boundaries. I am not good at putting them up, so it's important for me to avoid people who trample the little ones I try to put up! Good for you, for standing up for yourself. You're not being weird, you're trying to be heard.
I've been married to people like that, lol. Ignore you until you're literally frantic. Ugh, bad memories!
I feel like - if we can all connect on here, and say, 'I am alone' - I bet there are people closer who we can connect with as well. I have hope for all of us.
