For the last three years it feels like I'm setting boundaries, some small, some big... Only one big stays in place (so far), but it's the most recently put so I don't know for how long it will be respected, the others dismissed and every day I put them back on- I can't do the final step yet which is to put distance.
Lately I'm exasperated with the continuous invasion of a fundamental boundary that goes on for more than 20 years: to not be lied to, to not be manipulated, to not be reduced, to not be played. For the first ... invaders I took actions. For the recent ones, currently I'm trying to not fall, to stay alive and sane.
