My Daily Anchor

No one should stand for being mistreated. Whether someone hits you, verbally abuses you, or makes you feel like less than you're worth, you do not need to stand for it. It can even be something as simple as taking you for granted, assuming you'll do the chores all the time, or that you'll take care of the kids. Or being condescending, like talking down to you in front of their friends. Anyone who makes you feel like less of a human being needs to go. Period.
