Has anyone else had or is working on this challenge?
I think Virtue said it best - small steps. If you know you're being taken advantage of speak up for yourself.

1. Forget about whether you get any results or not, the important thing is to start practicing how to go about doing this.

I did this at work one time, and it felt great! Nothing happened, but I felt good knowing I was standing up for myself.

2. have clearly defined boundaries
3. stick to them
4. get support from others, especially when you're afraid to stand strong
5. reward yourself when you do

Good luck.
