How on earth do I get through to people that they are disrespecting my boundaries and causing me intense frustration!? One friend I have know for 30yrs, we have been really close but never really knew each other (we live in different states and have not seen each other in 17yrs). We have both been through abusive marriages, I am still in mine, she is now a widow. Anyway, this woman is NAGGING me to the point of complete exasperation! What about, prayer! She is trying to micro manage my life, is very bossy to the point of becoming controlling; I had NO IDEA that she was like this at all! Yes, I have told her how I felt about it, even expressed my ire and frustration, I spoke my thoughts clearly, but she is not honoring my words, my words return to me as powerless! I feel disrespected and completely unheard. Now I am avoiding her phone calls, because I just do not know what to do!? Anyone have any insight to share with me? I can't avoid her forever, that just does not solve anything now does it. But, I need a break from her incessant nagging and harping! People like this have ALWAYS intimidated me, I cow down to them and get where I literally cannot talk to them at all (that is a life long problem)!
