Some I know of have found great help with groups like Co Dependents Anon. Some didn't grow up in a functional household where litttle to any boundaries were taught.
Okay, so I've been setting boundaries and BOY OH BOY!!!!!! How difficult! Many have met me with resistance and/or tried to make me feel guilty. I'm sticking to my guns yet now I'm depressed. Before I was angry.
I do realize I'm partly to blame because I let people get away with treating me like a doormat for so long that now, of course, they're mad; I'm changing the rules.
