Dear Anita,

Thank you for your insights… What you said is true.. I have been a puppet all along.. but, off late, I’m slowly developing the courage to say No to things or people or situations, which I really need to say NO, and trying my level best in being polite and in being heard in an aggressive way.. I just need to wait to see how it all works out…

By the way, did you happen to read my replies for Lakra and the one post above your last post? I need some directions and help on that, on how to deal with this person who has been in my life for the past 1.5 yrs or so…

I’m still confused on how to deal with it, since I feel, I’m being either manipulated or I’m overthinking, fearing the unknown…not sure, how to work this out….

Thank you so very much, once again for all your helpful thoughts and guidance.
