I am working on healthy boundaries. This was not a skill I learnt as a cub.

I am worried about a good friend who has some very scary medical stuff

I'm still worried about my fang. It hurt a bit last night, I had hoped that posting would not ''jinx'' something. I wonder if I ''imagined'' it.. I hope so. I put up with.... something.. for a long time as I did not want a root canal. (the dentist had given me 3 options, root canal, leave it, or take the tooth out, which he discouraged) Probably I made a ''bad decision''. I have had extreme consequences for some of my ''bad decisions''... which didn't seem all that ''bad'' at the time. Some of them were extremely small. I do not think I am a mistake..
I don't think I learned of healthy boundaries as a cub either. I grew up in an alcoholic family you see. Telling people no is something I have a problem with. It's not that I can't do so, its just not easy for me. My youngest child has picked up on this many years ago and knows how to finagle his way to get what he wants.

You are not a mistake simply because you made a decision at the time which you thought was best.
