Hi @WildGypsyRose , @Lyra_reachout , @Faith-and-Hope, @Appleblossom, @BPDSurvivor , @Shaz51 @chibam @NatureLover .

Thank you for your stories and also supporting eachother in this thread, sharing past experiences relating to boundaries can bring up a lot of pain and feelings of anger/regret. I can hear that many of you are still managing the emotional impact of a relationship breakdown resulting from boundary strife and mistreatment today. It's an awful experience and something I also manage day to day as well. I'm glad that we were able to share this space to be vulnerable together.

It has taken many of us considerable internal work, heart ache, trial and error, to begin this process of setting and maintaing healthy boundaries. This is a process we will also likely have to continue learning and adjusting throughout our lives. As it can be easy to be discouraged by negative reactions we recieve from others when enforcing boundaries, let's explore some of our experiences of positive reactions that could empower us to move forward and create healthier relationships in the process.

I will be posting up the next question shortly!
