[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 737758, member: 13542"] I understand how you feel. I've spent the last 7 years erecting boundaries around my daughter's behaviors and doing similar boundary setting around other members of my bio-family....I reached a point where I became unwilling to drag that "life sentence" any further down the line.....each step was kind of crummy since it would push me to re-evaluate the former situation and set stronger boundaries....yet every time I did that, I felt relief and liberation.. .. making different choices which honor me supported acceptance. These are our kids, but we don't have to put up with lying, manipulation or any negative behavior, whether they're bi-polar or abusing substances or whatever.... unless they're unable to determine right from wrong, they are accountable for their behavior. Go for it with your new boundaries, you'll feel so much better!! [/QUOTE]
