What bec has said is very true. Even when you do set boundaries....People will push you to the limit to see if you will cave in, if the relationship was unhealthy to start with.
It's a fine line to walk, and only you can make the decision on how to deal with this issue. If being around these people makes you suffer...Then I would think the answer is very clear. If keeping them at arms length works...Then try it. Whatever works for you....Nothing is written in stone. What works for one, may not work for another.... |
