I will never understand why there is always a sizable percentage of people here who openly advocate not having or enforcing basic, healthy boundaries.
It's like there is a contingent of open advocates for codependency.
TH, it's either because no one understands the concept that establishing & enforcing boundaries is a large part of what's required for getting respect and it's because there are a lot of people out there dealing with the fear associated with freeing themselves from codependency and/or they are clueless as to how their codependence is affecting them.
