Rella,
Restraing orders are boundaries like everything else. It may explain the foot dragging that occurs when we have to set boundaries for ourselves and other's behavior. Progress not perfection is the name of our game. Maybe you can look at Friday as the first thing of the weekend that you do for yourself.
Good luck with it. Boundaries are a struggle for me and I don't always honor those I make for myself. But when I do I always feels so much better.
Peace - Petunia
