[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 627649, member: 1157"] MWM, I think the biggest thing here is to [I][B]give yourself permission to put these boundaries in place[/B][/I]. You have absolutely no reason to feel guilty for practicing good self-care. It's ok to say no to your sister, or even to hang up on her if she begins yelling at you about it (although I usually will say, even in the midst of the yelling, "ok I'm gonna go now, let's talk when you're more calm, bye" before I hang up). Saying no doesn't mean you have to wait for that person to accept the no, or even acknowledge it. Sometimes you just have to say no and walk away and let it sink in Doing that does not make you a bad person, or a bad sister. Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
