Unhappiness/bullying at work continues

I posted Mid summer about bullying from my immediate line manager. I was determined to walk away from this. I have tried very hard. I've gone back in sept trying to be really enthusiastic and enjoy my job. Opened my e mails this morning and Her and another colleague just slapped me in the face again this week by passing off an initial idea as one of theirs when it isn't. I shared it initially. My line manager is very subtle in how she makes you feel so worthless. Me bringing up this of anything similar would result in it being twisted back to me being the difficult one and childish etc.

I don't even want to bring it up anymore I just want to do my job, I want to let these things wash over me but I don't know how. Does any one have any ideas of how to help me?

I can't just leave as in the breadwinner. I live with my partner and my 2 children so makes me even more responsible to bring in the money. I hate going to work.

I just need some strategies of how to deal with her. I'm not confrontational. And I have tried to raise these things and as I have said it all came back to me as there is a group of them who seem power hungry and band together.

This is difficult. I've been bullied in the past and went through months of upset. Eventually I found another job but of course, this does take some time. I had to take less hours (just to get me out and away from the people and place) but I've never regretted it. Try and hold your head upright and never lose your temper or let them see you cry. Can you perhaps take your grievance higher? My thoughts are with you,

Thanks gaynor, I have reduced my hours this year for that very reason. Up higher know and listen and are supportive verbally but that's all. I'm not the only/first one either.
