[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 749052, member: 11235"] So much yes to this! I read everything I could about boundaries and detachment when I first started dealing with my difficult daughter as an adult. It was hard at first- I had ALL the boundaries- but once I figured it out it changed every aspect of my life for the better. I just had never been taught these important self-care skills, and like so many moms I was easily manipulated into guilt and shame. I still struggle every now and then, but overall I'm pretty good at setting and maintaining my own boundaries. It helps me look at situations more objectively and removes some of the emotion that used to catch me up in the past. Boundaries, people- get them, enforce them! You will never regret it. [/QUOTE]
