I agree, Steve. I have tried to work with the landlord, but unfortunately he has proven to be disrespectful and unreasonable. I know fighting every step will only lead to greater frustration, so I’m not.

Where I could especially use the help are the methods for brushing it off (without the luxury of leaving or changing the situation). What are some coping techniques people have used? It’s one thing to go with the flow, which I feel I am doing rather well on the outside; but how do I stop being bothered by it? What have others done to accept a bad situation and truly move forward within the same situation?

Thank you, everyone!
