I absolutely have issues with setting healthy boundaries. I don't want to rock the boat. I know certain things are wrong, but I don't want to upset the balance.
I want to find that happy middle ground.. to be able to be a person who can set boundaries and have them be respected. I overthink things most of the time.. I try to think of action/reaction. They do this.. if I do this, then they'll just do this.. or I have no action to back this up.
I think the latter is my biggest issue. Example.. I don't want OM sleeping over at W's place while the D's are there. Problem.. I have no action to back that request. She will lie, cheat and steal to accomplish it and I have no recourse.
The other issue I have is.. I'm either nice, or I'm not. There is no in-between. I've tried treating her as a "stranger", but I don't like strangers.. maybe it's the Jarhead thing, but I ALWAYS analyze situations first.
