[QUOTE="ChickPea, post: 751011, member: 24089"] Totally agree with this. I'm sorry you're dealing with it. It is heart-wrenching. Setting boundaries (for me) often feels unnatural, honestly. It's going against your instinct as a parent (or what your heart tells you to do). I think that's because most people don't have to draw some of these heart-wrenching lines. But, it must be done, and it doesn't seem to end, they just morph into a new boundary that needs to be set. At least that's my experience. Most of my friends don't have to kick their kids out because they are toxic. Most of my friends don't care full-time for their grandchild because their own child can't. Most of my friends don't have to hide their purse from their child. Most of my friends don't silence their phone because they get too many 2:30 AM phone calls. Most of my friends can easily take vacations without worrying about what will happen when I'm gone. Not pity-partying, just... it is what life is for us. [/QUOTE]
