i'm so proud of you! it was hard but it paid off. it's good that you don't expect it every time. also, don't be surprised if you have to enforce your boundaries from time to time. it's hard for us to change, and i've found that it's even harder for those in our lives to accept our changes sometimes.

you're amazing! i'm so proud of you right now.
