What Are Boundaries?
Though I've always had certain Boundaries, I didn't know they were called "Boundaries". And I know how confusing and hair pulling it is figuring out what boundaries are and how they apply to you, so bare with me.

Boundaries are a way to protect ourselves. Imagine Boundaries as being a fence around your property. Its a way to let the good in while keeping the bad out. You can choose what comes in, or out, of your boundary line.
Boundaries are also about self control, not about demanding anyone to do something. You can't demand or force your husband to leave, go to counseling, meetings, be honest, etc etc. You can ASK him to leave, but that doesn't mean he will leave your presence every time you get upset. But YOU sure can leave.
