Protecting your peace should be a priority.
Editor's note(s)/post-publication reflection: I should have stated that putting a boundary in place does not mean you don't love that person or don't want them to be a part of your life. Most of us who do this want those very things, terribly, but we love ourselves enough to stand up and put a stop to the cycle of bad behavior. 🩷
Yes to this! I really appreciate this post.
Thank you so much, Aysu!
Setting boundaries was the hardest thing of my life, but it has also been the most at peace I’ve ever been
