This is a great discussion and IS you are making leaps forward!

apparently I have no boundaries. Boundaries? In my family my mom read my diary... no one EVER knocked on your bedroom door --- I realized I grew up with not only no emotional boundaries but not even any physical ones.

I, too, had no concept of what boundaries meant. I was in everybody else's business "fixing" things for them and had no idea that I could say no. This is still difficult for me and I often ask my T "What do normal people do in this situation?"

I took a Boundaries class and I think I have 3-4 books on boundaries. One of the most interesting things I've read is that healthy people don't need a lot of boundaries because they have a few that they keep and that takes care of things.

I also go to Codependent's Anonymous and Al Anon Adult Child meetings. I have found these to be incredibly helpful.

*if anyone is a Big Bang Theory fan and remembers Leonard's mom, that reminds me of my family. very highly educated, knowledgable about darn near anything -- but NO EMOTIONS ALLOWED)

Love this reference!

I think you're doing great, IS!
