Breaking co-dependency

Boundaries are not something most of us are taught at an early age.

We want to please people in our lives in a position of authority like a parent or teacher, and so we comply without question.

When you get older and begin to come into your own, you realize you don’t need to make decisions just to please the people around you.

So, you begin to put up a fence.

Now the tricky part is you can’t put up barriers so tall that you don’t let anyone in. But people will not always be respectful of the spaces you carve either.

Something to think about.
