Respect and growing a backbone seems to be a recent theme. I've been hearing similar things for past couple weeks. It's a tough thing to change at times but I think it's what we all need to do. We have to respect ourselves before we can expect anyone else to respect us.

It still shocks me we're so similar. I can't believe some of the things I've accepted either in my M. I'm glad we're both seeing this and we're getting our respect back. I think I was referred to as an enabling master cake baker.
Stay strong buddy and stay the course in regards to DBing (continuing to work on you). You sound good..
Personality is who the world sees, character is who you are
