questions about boundaries and guilt
Ok, I'm working here at the computer and neighbors daughter just came over and rang the doorbell. Twice. I didn't answer. I didn't want to. I didn't want to be interrupted. The kids are at their dads for just one day this week and I'm working. Plus, we are not interacting with that family any more. Period.
But-I'm also resentful. I don't want to talk to her. I need some time away from her and her family to reset my emotional clock. and now I'm feeling guilty.
why do I feel guilty?
Why do I hold a boundary and then feel bad about it?
Now I"m combatting texting the dad to make excuses for why I didn't answer the door. WHAT. THE. HELL?? I'm so annoyed with myself.
