Boundaries Are Like Seat Belts

i love my mother, but sometimes their idea of love can be quite different from ours. Boundaries are set to protect us and if they're set in a way that's compassionate, boundaries can empower both parties. If you're struggling to set boundaries, remember to put on your oxygen mask first. Remind yourself of what was said and how it made you feel. Then think about what it feels like to have a grounded and stable relationship with others.
