SS, there was a lot of uRworthy's post that resonated with me. I've been doing some digging deep into myself about choices and boundaries and playing the victim and letting resentment build.
There were so many places I felt like I had no choice about things, but I did. Maybe there was only one appealing option, but there were still other options that I had the freedom to choose, I just didn't see it that way at the time. And for me, that set up a lack of boundaries, because I would have to make choices as to what's acceptable and not, and what I action I would take if someone crossed my boundary. So I just sat inside my victim circle and let my resentment grow. Not a pretty place to be.
So, just know, you aren't the only one trying to figure out how to take control of your life. Hang in there.
