Re: Boundaries
Whiplash,
That is the boundary that I find the hardest...it is like "you drink, I leave" To me that sounds like an ultimatum that I am not willing to back up. Now I am not you...I know that.
The thing about boundaries is they are to make my life better...not to force me, through someones else's behavior, to do something I am not ready for.
My boundaries are about me... plain and simple. I will not be drawn into another person's garbage. I want honesty within reason, stability and peace. For me, that can be accomplished even while he is drinking.
Just for today, at least, I choose to focus on the good.
Hugs,
JT
