My husband passed in December 2011 and even though I have and can handle alot, I find myself being meek and accepting things beneath me. For instance someone owes my husband/me some money and wants to give me a small amount. The assumed amount was a verbal agreement w/my husband and this person and was based upon a sale of a certain item. But he will making about $10K when all is said and done and my husband said he was to receive $4-5K and he is giving me $1,000 and I didn't stand up for myself.
This is very unlike me as I am more of an aggressive personality and wondering why I am not speaking up. I am guessing it is because my husband handled certain things and me other things. But I am giving into male dominance - in a way - which was never my way and don't know what to do about getting my self esteem back.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
