"The truth about our childhood is stored up in our body and although we repress it, we can never alter it. Our intellect can be deceived, our feelings manipulated. our perceptions confused and our body tricked with medication. But someday the body will present its bill, for it is as incorruptible as a child who, still whole in spirit, will accept no compromises or excuses, and it will not stop tormenting us until we stop evading the truth".

good for you all! what great boundaries and taking care of yourselves all these recent posts are telling about. very inspiring to see you taking such good care of yourselves. and i'm glad you got more sleep. yay rest and self care :)
MM - we did not see that..yes we are setting some good boundaries... :) thank you...safe hugs to you!
Good on yuh for knowing what you need right now and standing firm in getting it, which is the comfort and privacy of home! It sounds like your parents' house is a "toxic environment" for you, so it is best to stay away for the time being.
You see your doc every month? Wowsers! I only see mine about two or three times a year! Refills are a GOOD thing. LOL
By the way, I usually eat breakfast, lunch and supper too...except when I have a "cooked" lunch, and then it's breakfast, DINNER, and supper! You can tell your mom that, if you want! LOL :P
I agree with mountainmama - this is a very good thing. You are taking care of yourself which includes setting boundaries. This is not an easy thing to do - it can so easily cause guilt.
You deserve to take care of yourself. You are lovable and valuable.
Love and prayers,
Prayer Girl
Meribah - girl we love you....you make us laugh...someday I hope to hear that accent...lol
PG - ty for the validation....and you are so right about the guilt...but we will not allow that to be an issue any longer....Love and safe hugs to you!
prayer girl reminded me, speaking of guilt, that one of the main things i think makes setting boundaries difficult, is the people we're trying to set them with! they can push and pull and get mad and try to make us feel guilty and like we're being mean, overreacting, being too sensitive, whatever - all attempts to get us to not set that boundary!
i have felt the need to set a huge boundary with my brother who was always abusive to me. i will correspond via e-mail with him, but that's all. and he still says things to me like, "my only sister won't even talk to me". boo! to me, him saying things like that is just a huge red flag that he's still not safe for me to be around. that self-centered self-pity and trying to make me feel guilty and like i'm a terrible person for setting this limit. poor pitiful him, he's just a victim - instead of taking responsibility for his own behavior - it's all so manipulative and just indicates to me that he still has growing to do before i will feel really safe around him.
i think you're doing such a good job taking care of yourself. keep on listening to those instincts! your strength is inspiring :) ((safe hugs))
