Any success stories after being bullied by someone?!

[Carbondioxide]

I would like to hear if anyone had a bully or toxic family member who bullied you thinking you are "lower", not worth anything, making you feel like you will never achieve anything etc? Did you later prove them wrong? How? What exactly happened? I need some inspiration and boost to keep me strong and be on the right track

Tbh anyone who has decided you're a wrong un will never change their tune. If you get a double first from Oxford then they'll find something else to criticize.

It's really cheesy but the best way to stay on the right track is to live the life you want to, and fill it with what makes you happy.

My now ex husband was a total bully. He thought he was above me and thought he could say and do what he liked with no consequences.
Many years of horrendous behaviour from him and many court appearances. The children now permanently live with me and he is now allowed to see them. His horrendous behaviour was called out in court.
He's got no family or friends as he's also abusive to them. He's now living on the streets, busking/begging. He's lost his business and is an addict.
It's actually a very sad story but it proved that "you get what you give".
Our lives are full of love and stability. Nice house, nice job kids doing well at school. Many friends and family. What goes around comes around.

I was bullied for years at work - it utterly destroyed my sense of confidence and wrecked my mental health.

I ended up leaving the job after going through dignity at work process etc. 8 years later I’ve trained for a new profession, consolidated my position in my existing profession, run my own business and have an excellent work life balance. I’m well regarded in the workplace and my mental health is much better. It’s taken time and work but every part of my life is better.

The best revenge is definitely a life well lived, on your own terms.

There was a woman on here a while back who realised she was about to be given a sales pitch or something by her school bully. She grey rocked her in front of everyone then said something at the end to get some kind of closure, I can't remember the exact words but she came out of it well.

My mother-in fact my whole family

no matter what I did,I was wrong

a failure,a mistake,a wrong un,something to take the piss out of,to put down and something to laugh at

i went no contact and blocked them out of my life

i went back to collage,picked up some qualifications and got on with it

im now settled with a lovely partner,full time job that I do enjoy and my own home etc
They have a toxic soup-they don’t trust each other but can’t break free as it would cost them a lot

and they are reduced to checking up on me via my insta (which I rarely use) and what they don’t know,they have to make up-normally to make themselves look better-image is everything in their world

heaven forbid I’ve made something of my life,with people who love me-they really don’t like it and have tried everything to pull me down again but I’m not having it

Thank you all for responses! I know it's hard at that exact moment when you are surrounded by bully's blocking and downgrading aura, it's hard to see there could be any way out of this.
I know I don't want to prove anything to the bully, I just want to return back the original version of myself that's been surpressed by bully.
