I often read blogs and content of Facebook pages about “setting boundaries”.  I see things like, “If you don’t set your boundaries, you’ll get run over” or “Make sure you set those boundaries”.  I’ve sometimes thought that those quotes and narrative sounded a little cold, that they sound mean or unkind, but I don’t think […]
