The Importance of Respecting Our Boundaries

We have to be very careful of putting ourselves in a position where we'll let somebody else dictate our reality or our standards. We can't really use them as a gauge of what is okay for us, because they're the ones who are basically trying to set a disrespectful standard with us. It's perfectly okay for us to not want to be okay with something. That is not something that we need to negotiate or discuss with anybody else. Don't ignore your intuition. Don't get caught up in their feelings and their behaviour and blaming yourself for it. You've locked you into South Dad.
