Thank you so much for your response! I’m glad that you were able to connect to the article, that makes the writing worth it! Regarding guilt: a very wise psychologist once said to me, “you can feel guilty about something and not act on it.” And over the years I’ve come to understand that those are separate actions. So when I’m feeling guilty but it’s over something that would hurt me if I altered a boundary, I remind myself it’s better not to act on it. :) I hope things get easier for you, regarding your siblings but it sounds like your boundaries are in place!
