Surrounded
sKePTiKal:
SL: with enough "practice" setting those boundaries, the guilt fades away and those boundaries become just another thing on our self-care to-do list. But, it is still a pain in the derriere that it's even necessary with the nefarious FOO transgressors. I honestly don't know of a total "cure" for that.
The part of all this that I still don't like, is that I tend to be too wary of other people - who aren't necessarily as Nish as the zombie-foo who never change. Being around nicer people is a great antidote to that feeling of being surrounded, Kelly! It doesn't have any effect on the zombie-foo - read: they never change - but what it does do is balance out one own's life... adds a lot more positive into it so that the effect of zombie-foo-ism is counteracted. It bothers us less - more mosquito annoyance than predator danger.
So, here's a great big HUG and a "don't let the turkeys get you down"!

Hi OC -
About divorcing those pesky parents...hmmm. there is a book out there called, yes, you guessed it, DIVORCING A PARENT by Beverly Engel PhD. I have not read this book, but have read others by the same author and she knows her stuff.
There is also a website about it here:
http://www.tellinitlikeitis.net/2009/05/how-to-divorce-your-parents-minors-emancipation-can-you-divorce-your-parents.html
Hope this helps you. All the best to you (((((((((((((OC))))))))))))))

I told my Nmom yesterday that I wasn't sorry about calling out my mooch cousin and his wife. Mom and I have been getting along so well, I just thought she might comfort me. Of course, she didn't but she also didn't give me the death glare so I guess that is progress.
I got a clean scan at Mayo which means at this moment I am cancer free!! I should feel good but I am depressed.
I think watching back to back Greys Anatomy episodes on netflix is making me that way. Every show people die and relationships go all to hell. Too much of an emotional roller coaster.
