I don't know EXACTLY what your story is, but maybe you could apply that principle and see how it changes your outlook over time.
Thank You Crimson,I am trying hard to do just that. Everytime I establish boundaries with my siblings and mother. They find a way tomato me feel bad. For example mom tells sis I am pulling away Sis calls and tells me. Then mom gets sick or hurt and even needier. Its like extortion. It is hard not to let it effect me. It so bad I am afraid every time my phone rings. When I try to explain to them how I am feeling they say I am unreasonable or oversensitive. My therapist is trying to help. I hope things are working out. Maybe u could give me an idea how you make it work? thank u
