[quote=Anonymous]Not me, but one of my aunts has struggled her entire life with a family member steamrolling her and overruling event the smallest decisions she makes in her own home ("We're having pot roast for dinner." "No, you can't make that good a pot roast, I'll make a pork loin for dinner.")  This person comes into her house and rearranges things - decided it was "morbid" to have a small portrait of a family member who has passed away in a display with others who had not and removed it, hid a decor item they didn't like so well that it took us years to find it.  It's been tough to watch, and attempts to intervene have not ended well.

She has chose to deal with it by absorbing the small things, hiding anything she feels strongly about keeping and suspects may be an issue, and speaking up on things that are important to her.  We also back her up or step in when the bullying starts ("I love your pot roast and am really looking forward to having it for dinner.  Can I peel some potatoes for you?")[/quote]
