Thank you for sharing, Charlotte. I totally agree. Bullies don't just stop existing when we become adults, but rather become more insidious in the ways they make others feel small and scared. At one point, my partner lived with really awful bullies, and thankfully he moved out after a few years, but it's awful to feel scared and belittled in your own home.

Best of luck standing up to them while also staying safe! You got this!
