I needed to see this today. It just affirmed something I have been feeling about a relationship for some time now. The way you explained it was perfect! Again, thank you!

Omg this.. “You’re in charge of knowing the truth about who you are, owning that truth, and that you have every right to set boundaries with people who try to tell you that you are otherwise.”

I have had 3 horrible toxic interactions with people in my life in the last month, 1 a business relationship and 2 from a colleagues.

I know my truth and I know myself and I am not going to allow anyone to tell me any of that is wrong.

Thank you for re-sharing this, much need, I feel freer.

I have to end 2 toxic friendships. Both took a lot of therapy, soul searching, and journaling. Thank you for sharing your truth.

Thank you for this. Sadly this describes both of my parents and it has been a lifetime of grief and loss. Thank you for the validation, reminding me of what I deserve and the inspiration to exercise that. As always, love your blog and your words!

I just sent the entire second paragraph starting with “In the past year” of this blog to my 13 year old daughter at school who is struggling everyday with friends and friends that “aren’t friends” if you know what I mean. I’ve been telling her all her life to “never let anyone tell you who they think YOU are” but sometimes when you can send it from someone else, someone they think “is pretty cool with great style” it penetrates a little more. Great blog! Thank for this!!

Susanna. Ahh! One of my long-time favorite poems as well. Thank you for the reminder, and thank you Eva for starting this conversation. ]]>

Oof- that’s some tough stuff. I haven’t been the most mature with ending toxic relationships. Usually I just avoid that person as much as possible.
I’ve been working on boundaries, though, and I’m pretty proud! I have an excellent relationship with my mother these days but at times she tells me things that are emotionally draining and inappropriate- not gross stuff- but issues with family members. I’ve been going to counseling and have encouraged her to do the same. She says she doesn’t have anything to talk to a counselor about and I told her to talk with them about the things she tells me. I’m hoping this clicks with her. I think she would be happier and I certainly would be happier knowing less about family issues that shouldn’t be any of my business!
