Truth

I stood up for myself. I explained what I wanted and needed and set a boundary. Sounds simple, right. Well it has taken me 2 years of therapy to get to this point where I could finally put me first. And it doesn’t matter what the details were surrounding the situation, other than it triggered something for me. And their response was to try and “mansplain” themselves and their actions. So I told them that I was going to step away from the situation and that I expect them to respect my decision. I didn’t go into a million reasons why or explain myself trying to justify my decision. I simply stated what I was going to do. And I am fully prepared to block them if they don’t respect my wishes.

It’s baby steps, I know. But also….yay me!
