And Iam not one who likes to talk on the phone bit here lately talking to my half sister,she is always down&talking about death all the time and I don't want to hear that&she is bossy&disrespectful&I don't want to hear that are be stress out by her. Just in a space I want to be on my own&I got so much on my mind that I need to clear it,I don't know how I got to the place but my mind is just on over load&I don't need her anxiety making mine worse&Iam not being mean Iam just watching out for me now&making me strong,I don't talk to family everyday. Never been me& its not because I don't love them I love all my family inspite of,the hurt that most of them even her has brought to me iam just seeking healing.

Soul,

It is okay to put up boundaries where you need to! Decide how much time you are willing to dedicate to any given person per day, and then let them know that you need to go.

Tell them that you will talk to them soon, when your schedule allows, and otherwise simply ignore any extra calls.

You have to take care of yourself in order to be any help to others. They should understand that...and even if they don't, that is okay, you still have the right to have your boundaries.
