But I don't let an md or a therapist run roughshod over me. I don't answer questions or give them information unless I want to do so. I am not all that curious about them - why would I be? They are tools for me to use and they are acting. They are not real to me and I am not real to them.
Plus - from what I have seen, many if not most, are bat **** crazy themselves, often touchy and unpleasant to deal with in real life, and have a great deal of trouble if someone does not roll over and submit to their persona. I have no need to feed their need for love, approval, admiration etc.

Believe me, there is absolutely no need to be sad for me. But if you enjoy it have at it. I sue those people for a living and I have had them as clients. They are not super special and some are mean and petty and so forth. I have dealth with them in probate court where they have been greedy and dysfunctional. I watch their children Dislike them and complain about them and refuse to take care of ones who have become incapacitated. They are just like everyone else and sometimes worse. I have personally not dealt with any who are better

Thanks so much, stopdog. I like what you write, you don't tell others what to do, just tell it like it is for you. Seems like an example of pretty good boundaries, to me.
Sorry about the loss of your person. I don't know the specifics or how you feel about it, but I still want to extend my sympathies. That's just what I feel about it, inside my own boundary.
