It's time to say enough when you've tried everything you know or have been counselled to try and there is no change for the better, but rather for the worse. You know you've had enough when the actions and reactions of others go against every fibre of your being and all your principles and values. You know you've had enough when being in the prescence of people who bring you down, makes you so sad or so angry that you feel if you take much more you'll do yourself harm or them. You do it to keep yourself sane and not lash out.

Sometimes for their sakes and your's you must walk away and let them make the first move of reconcilliation when all else has failed.

I have already decidedthat I've had enough. It took 9 years and 9 months of working for a greedy, ungrateful corporation,and I really have no more that I did when I started. So what I have decided to do is say the hell with it all and tour the world on two wheels(check out the horizons unlimited website) I am going to continue my shitty job until June of '08 saving my money and selling my property. Then? I'm outta here following summertime around the world.

To me, the time to assert your feelings is immediately, the first time someone says something to you that is hurtful or mean. I would say something assertive, not directly hurtful, back to them, so I'm not lowering myself to their level. As in, "I find that hurtful/painful/offensive, and I'd like an apology." Or "I feel very hurt when anyone talks to me that way." Talking like this takes practice. You may want to do some role playing with a friend before you try it out on them. People really will respect you for speaking your mind, so go for it. If they don't care enough to treat you better after that, stop associating with them, even if they are your relatives. I've had to do this with my own mother, and it's been hard but worth it.

I tolerated a particular situation in my life for THIRTEEN YEARS. But I'm moving on now, and my only regret is that I waited this long to do it. Don't wait to long to assert yourself as the woman, the person, the human being you really are. There's no use in letting other people walk all over us. And the longer you wait to put a stop to it, the longer you'll wait for it to end.

Good luck!

when the negativity of the situation out-weighs the positivity. That is when one must take a stand. Choose your time and method wisly; don't just blurt it all out when you get angry. Try to change the situation before just abandoning it. A good idea if things have gone way to far is to put the offender to a choice to change or else you will leave the unhealthy situation.

Until your stomach feels like it is in knots, and you can't figure out if you should scream, cry, or pull all your hair out! That is when you have reached the end of your rope. That is when it is time to do something about it, and decide that you do not need people in your life that make you feel like that!

Only the incompetent take action or use violence as a last resort. The competent act or strike sooner, if not first, and then do so with force. Do it quick, make it count, and watch your back.

As you wake to your true self, then things change, because enough is enough, but until you have a sense of true self, you are more or less in the door mat position.

I believe if your asking those questions you should now because it seems to me that your getting pretty pissed off at somebody. Maybe your friend who bosses you around. Tell them how you feel and if they don't understand your feelings then they aren't really your friend.

If your asking this question then your probably ready. GO FOR IT!

When you feel like it's worth taking a stand. Sounds like you are ready. Good luck.
