[QUOTE="GuideMe, post: 639026, member: 18233"] I get what you're saying MWM, and you're absolutely right. I am regretting it so bad now as we speak and having anxiety about it on top of it. However, I am getting there (being able to say no to people) because I did say flat out no for a while about her coming to stay here, which I never did before. It was always a fast yes (to others) , without any questions or expectations. So the fact that I said no, and stood firm about it until now, shows them that I am more serious than before about everything, and what my new rules are. Hopefully there will be positives instead of negatives that come out of this, or just a wash. It's just when I seen her tonight, dirty , lost at least 10 pounds and looking at me, dying for me to say "ok, get in the car, I'll take you home", just broke my heart. But at least I did drive away. It was on the drive home that I said "ok, she can stay with us....under these conditions...." basically. Before I would have said "oh baby girl, get in the car, I'll take care of you!" So baby steps to not being a doormat , right? [/QUOTE]
