"An obstacle to setting healthy boundaries can be fear, guilt, or even lonliness in our own life which clouds our judgement. We might fear the other person’s response if we set and enforce our boundaries. We fear not being able to establish a friendship or keep a friendship. We might feel guilty by speaking up or saying no. Many believe that they should be able to cope with a situation or say yes because they’re a good daughter or son, but this can stem from doctrine or theology that is not healthy or sometimes even reality. Boundaries aren’t just a sign of a healthy relationship; they’re a sign of self-respect. So give yourself the permission to set boundaries and work to preserve them. In doing so, you will protect yourself and your family"
