Question: Do you intervene if a loved one is being treated like s#!* by family and/or friends, i.e. talk to the accused? I feel helpless..do I say something to his/her father who is a jerk? Do I say something to friends who walk all over him/her? Will this cause to much of a rift in the realtionship? I feel powerless if I do nothing to help! PLEASE HELP!!

Answer: You should say something to your loved one, mostly how to stop being a doormat and learning to stand up for themselves. No one can walk over them without their permission.
