Some quotes& scriptures sticking out to me. Realizing a label that has been put on me my whole life has made me feel like i'm not a good enough or worthy enough person. But that I am who I am...and it's not wrong of me to think the way I think..and its not wrong or a bad thing..the way I choose to go about decisions/ and or life itself. We all make mistakes..yes who doesn't.. God is teaching me to humble myself...and take things before him now more than ever..

"Sometimes physically removing yourself from a situation will help maintain boundaries. You can do this to replenish yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually after you have given to your limit, as Jesus often did.Removing yourself from the situation will also cause the one who was left behind to eperience a loss of fellowship that may lead to changed behavior."
Time:
"Adult childen who have never spiritually and emotionally seperated from their parents often need time away. They need to spend some time building boundaries against the old ways and creating new ways of relating that for a while may fell alientating to thier parents. This time apart usually improves their relationship with their parents."
