[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 575566, member: 13542"] PG, that's a hard place to be. It sounds as if you've moved into serious protecting mode, understandable because of an innocent baby, however, I agree with compassion, over-vigilance is based in fear and although it 'feels' like helping, it is enabling and does come across as controlling. What a difficult place to be and yet, as time goes by, you'll learn when to step in and when to step back, it's just that the baby added a whole new dimension to that process. Sigh. I feel for you and know how you feel. I needed MEGA support to keep those boundaries intact. (((HUGS)))) [/QUOTE]
