Today I was able to set a boundary with W. I did it in a positive tone without getting defensive. I feel good that I was able to do this without taking her words personally. Old me let her control my actions.
We were moving the kids backpacks from her car to mine. She told me "You need to do BLA BLA BLA"
I responded respectfully back, "Please do not tell me what to do"
Nicely done !!!
