Back in the early 80's a social worker friend of mine gave me a book:  "When I Say 'No,' I Feel Guilty."   It was a blessing!  I marked pages and re-read sections of it over and over.  I felt it was written just for me.  Anyway, that book taught assertiveness without being angry or offensive (the "broken record" method) and just gave me strength to stand up for myself.  I kept that book for years to give myself refresher lessons.  Before I read it, I was everybody's doormat.  Not any more.
