[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 748642, member: 18958"] I think there is a distinction between setting boundaries in order to influence their behavior as opposed to making boundaries to not be harmed by them. There is a gray area. When we feel ourselves to be inadequate to deal with the pain. When our coping capacity is insufficient to deal with the reality of how they live their lives. New Leaf has a thread now, that is around this topic. I don't want to get into what she feels or thinks, but I relate entirely. It is wrong to let yourself be destroyed by anybody. I don't think suffering helps anybody. Suffering does not help our kids. But our suffering does not help them either. [/QUOTE]
