It is so exhausting when they do the guilt tripping and gaslighting of your boundaries - making you out to be the villain to everyone.

I said “I’m sorry you feel that way but your emotions and emotional reaction is not on me or my job to process” she hasn’t spoken to me in months now. 🤷🏻♀️

Anybody else grew up where if the parents were “upset” that meant you were in the wrong? 🙋 boy that took awhile to sort out

But how do I know if my boundaries are too much/ I’m asking too much/ my boundaries are mean? 😬

My mom got caught in real time lying to me about still having photos of my son on social media after agreeing to remove months ago and me first asking almost a year ago. She straight lied to me - there are none, then oh maybe a couple, oh 5 or 6 I deleted, and meanwhile I’m looking at like 20

My MIL keeps asking when I’m going to have another child - it drives me up a wall. I asked my husband to talk to her now she’s mad at me saying “every topic is off limits” and is visibly mad. Family planning is between me and my husband Susan!!!! Grow up. I was sick a week ago and she told me to take a test, I almost lost it on her

She gaslights so much and makes us feel like we’re the ones who are wrong for creating boundaries

Thank you for validating this 💜 been trying to work through this for most of my adult life after being “conditioned” to take on my parents emotional wellbeing. Now finding they’re using my newborn already to try and say I’m the bad guy whenever I set a boundary (like asking for them to get TDap for my daughter). It’s exhausting! 😭

My MIL told my husband to leave me 9 hours after I had our baby. Due to basic boundaries regarding baby’s safety and my sanity.

my counselor has really had to work with me whenever to say “is it okay that they’re upset? is that your job to keep them happy?”

You don't even need to tell anyone your boundaries. When they disrespect you, get up and leave. They may figure out the pattern, but you aren't asking permission.

Thank you for this. The reaction makes me second guess myself and feel like I’m crazy asking for something completely unreasonable. We just don’t want people with HSV kissing our baby

Girl my future MIL really REALLY wants to go wedding dress shopping, has point blank said when are we going many times. I don’t want her to come I want it to be a special moment with my family but I know she’s going to go nuclear over it

My FIL has sent us messages threatening us that our boundaries are “putting MIL in an early grave” as if we’re responsible for her mental issues. It’s disturbing.
