Going around in circles

[angel61]

I used to expect a lot out of my M and out of H that he started to feel like a failure when he could not fulfill my expectations.

Even during the early part of piecing I had expectations and because of those, ended up feeling really disappointed.

Boundaries in a sense are like expectations.

I do not believe that boundaries are only for YOU. As you said, it is to protect you from the outside world, so it does stop others from some actions, no matter what. It is not a two way street. It is only right from your side.

I value myself enough to realize that I don't depend upon others for my happiness.
