Boundaries (or lack of them) are huge for me.. so confusing.. I love where you said "I have to show up for the job and my meetings and there are a few other responsibilities that I take care of but demands made by others of my free time are not compelling reasons for me to lose my serenity. I can make choices to limit the things that I want to do." <BR/><BR/>That's utterly profound to me as I honestly feel I am totally responsible for others so much of the time. And I seem to lose sight of myself and responsibilities.. anyhoo - thanks for sharing. Did I mention I needed to read this today?!! thanks.mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596253451843404461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-66805713971223629822008-01-29T11:38:00.000-05:002008-01-29T11:38:00.000-05:00I could really identify with this taking on respon...I could really identify with this taking on responsibilities and my therapist says it is typical of children of alcoholics. My sobriety is my number one concern right now but I am grateful to learn that some of my behaviour is "typical" and also to realize that I am indeed a child of an alcoholic. Possbily 2 alcoholics. Who knows and does it really matter? The main thing for me is my recovery, NOW.Kathy Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808513070742589781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-22691835336980640822008-01-29T11:36:00.000-05:002008-01-29T11:36:00.000-05:00That must have taken so much energy away from your...That must have taken so much energy away from your soul.
