Yep - I think these statements are really accurate for me also... I find I am like a chamelion. It depends who I am dealing with, what the "hidden rules of power" are for that person... where I am.... Like you said, with myself (especially right now) i seem to have none or few. Especially with this dang medical diet. I am repelling sooooooooooooooo badly. The more i attempt to enforce it, the more i rebel and it is really taking its toll. Perhaps it also has to do with respect. If I do not respect my self i sure can't respect my needs as an individual.... I will have to think on that one more. thanks pink.
(and that part about your mom threatening to take t away... grrrrrrr! Reminds me of home).

Depends who I am dealing with.
When it comes to other stuff (mostly impulse related stuff) I don't have good boundaries-- not with myself.
