[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 659362, member: 1157"] I read somewhere a while back that people fall back into old, familiar roles when they go home for holidays with family. That's why holidays can be so stressful for so many. We forget who we've become outside of our family, and slip right back into old familiar patterns, even the negative ones. Seems to me this is something along those lines, too. Take a deep breath. You're ok! Forgive yourself for "slipping," because I think it's perfectly understandable under the circumstances. You recognize what's going on, and that's huge. You've learned something too - you need to keep your distance. I think this means you've have stronger boundaries next time, you'll know what to expect. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
