How to deal with guilt and manipulation
While you are struggling to make changes in your life, there are going to be nay-sayers. They will have their own reasons for trying to make you feel guilty for your choices or manipulating you into doing what they want. How you react to them, their words, and their actions is purely up to you. […]
