Setting boundaries isn't easy for many of us but it makes such a difference--not only to how we are treated, but to how we feel about ourselves.April_optimisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04264149241673287909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20677845.post-2446440922397990662010-02-18T16:39:53.816-08:002010-02-18T16:39:53.816-08:00Very empowering!

I know that asserting boundaries and limits for people in our lives who are used to trampling all over them is really hard for these folks. The way we used to be really let them off the hook. Now they have to take responsibility for themselves and their own actions. My sister used to get so violently pissed at me when I would assert myself with my new sense of boundaries. But, now that she's had a lot more therapy herself, she's better about it.Marj aka Thriverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825698906631474866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20677845.post-9092877671667309932010-02-15T18:53:35.379-08:002010-02-15T18:53:35.379-08:00I like how you saw this, "I took back a part ...I like how you saw this, "I took back a part of myself."

Thank you so much for sharing this post.
...April,<br />Thank you so much for sharing this post. <br /><br />First things first, I want to congratulate you on your victory here. Maybe "victory" is too strong a word, but I don't think so. You go girl! <br /><br />Second, I want to let you know that by publishing this post, you've helped me in dealing with a family member/boundary situation that brought back a lot of those same childhood issues that you describe. I now hope to celebrate a victory of my own. <br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />And have a great weekend!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12075252729188011233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20677845.post-90560241976812161422010-02-08T20:26:36.074-08:002010-02-08T20:26:36.074-08:00april, you are truly an inspiration, especially to...april, you are truly an inspiration, especially to a woman like me who is struggling to free herself of those fears and lack of self-worth.<br /><br />thank you for sharing. and kudos to you for your clarity, and finding a place from which to interact with your ex that was true to who you are.lynettehttp://lynetteb.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20677845.post-31263531211520867972010-02-07T19:01:16.248-08:002010-02-07T19:01:16.248-08:00Congratulations on your level of awareness and tak...Congratulations on your level of awareness and taking action in a way that elevated your power and did not diminish the feelings of others.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08237538988856751173noreply@blogger.com
