Hi Seldom,
"They say setting boundaries means you let go of the outcome - you've decided for yourself what you will or won't do and the other party is left to make their own choice."
This was brilliantly stated! You have no idea how much I needed to read this today.
I am so SO happy that you stood up to your mom and dad the way that you did. I have problems setting boundaries because I focus too much on how the other party will react. I'm going to take your situation into account and fix some boundaries of my own today.
Thank you for your inspiration and strength.
