You’re not one to duck a confrontation, but this isn’t your fight. Happily forward the contact information of the person people are really sore at.
Frustration builds as you feel like a supervisor is muzzling you yet again. Meet in person. S/he is trying to foster your talents, not stifle them.
Wow. Even you’re taken aback by a loved one’s attack. But don’t let it slide. Insist on an apology pronto.
There’s no point in making someone stay when he doesn’t want to. Step aside and let him go. He’ll realize his mistake one day.
Back up and think about the signals you’re sending. People may feel like they have to compete to keep up with you, not vice-versa.
You’re not happy about pulling the plug on a loved one’s endeavors, but he’ll eventually see you’re right. Hopefully your nerves won’t be fried by then.
