Thank you for such accurate post, Zandra. It looks like my own family is setting up boundaries this xmas, feels like conflicts are flying around. Hopefully we will avoid some toxic behaviours of our extended family from now on. It is difficult, even if my (our) boundaries are clear. Others simply don’t get it but I cannot stand it anymore, especially for our child.
Thank you for reading, Selene! Oh yes, I’ve got to acknowledge how very difficult it could be even when doing the work to make boundaries clear, and regret not touching on that much in this post. But, what’s also worth acknowledging is you and your family’s move toward your values! Others don’t need to understand it 🫶
Thank you for mentioning the cultural impact of addressing conflict. It’s a topic very close to my heart.
Thank you for reading! It is close to mine as well and I hope to analyze and write more about it 🙂
