Boundaries & self advocacy

Today I updated my therapist on the most recent breakup and the unfolidings with my 18.yo daughter lastnight.

He said that he’s impressed that I didn’t let momentary happiness out rank my needs. That my time wasn’t being respected and I spoke up.

Same with my daughter who in a verbal fight tried to cut me down at one point trying to throw poly in my face. I refused to let her verbal attacks upset me. Again boundaries and advocacy as I told her I wont tolerate her mind games and attempts at emotionally cutting me down to make her point. That she owes me an apology before she comes home, and if she can not understand this we can re discuss her living arrangements.

So despite my heart stings being plucked I’m feeling rather stable.
