It’s important for people to understand the signs of unhealthy relationships, when there’s guilt, shame, belittling, manipulation, when people won’t apologize when they’ve clearly done wrong, those are signs that people are being controlled.
Boundaries are critical, because they lead people to respectful, responsible relationships. Every home needs parameters of safety, every person needs a degree of respect. Without healthy boundaries, the family is a mess.
Emotional boundaries are just as important as physical ones. You have to protect yourself from the things that are coming at you, and it’s important to release that in your heart, and don’t receive the guilt trips or the shame.
Boundaries are limits set for you, and don’t control anyone else. You’re not there to harm the other person or make them miserable. You not only want to be cared for yourself, but you have to care for those in your world.
You will never regret putting your marriage and family first.
