[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 750696, member: 23405"] Beta I mentioned this book on a previous thread but wanted to mention it again. It’s called Boundaries by Dr Henry Cloud & Dr John Townsend. It has helped me tremendously. I always struggle with being Christian and helping those in need. Usually my sons. I often forgive quickly and because of my desire to reconcile I go right back into communication with sons when in fact there hasn’t been any repentance or staying changes that would show me they’ve changed one bit. I have to learn to pause and wait a good length of time before I re-engage communication. It will also give me more detachment time which allows me to get stronger. If I'm not strong I won’t be able to keep my boundaries and stop enabling them. I read this in that book: sometimes a “no” is waiting inside the heart- ready to use- not for attack. Not to punish another. But to protect and develop the time, talents and treasures God has allocated to us during our threescoure and ten years on this planet.” [/QUOTE]
