Cindy, that is the most cogent definition of codependency that I've read. Well said! “…when we who are becomes entangled with what other people think or expect of us, our boundaries blur.”

We've always had a low stone wall to mark the line between our property and our neighbor. We didn't build either one but respect the boundary each signifies and appreciate the effort it took to build each one. If only inner boundaries were so clearly marked and easily understood.

It does seem to be getting harder to keep our boundaries, so much calling for our attention. But, if we don't set the boundaries for ourselves, no one will. Taking good care of ourselves and our needs is when we can be at our best for those around us. Being tired and cranky isn't offering the best of ourselves :) Yes!

I like the idea of building my own "low stone fence" to mark my personal boundaries--it doesn't have to be 8 feet high and totally block my view or scare people away with barbed wire in order to serve as a reminder.
