Re: Tired of feeling taken for granted and never appreciated
(Anonymous) 2026-01-11 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)exactly, this is abuse
and if this is a case, no amount of boundaries will help - you need escape this situation
Re: Tired of feeling taken for granted and never appreciated
(Anonymous) 2026-01-11 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)Yeah. A healthy set of boundaries can help you avoid abuse, or prevent abusers from getting a foothold. But they won't prevent determined abusers from overrunning those boundaries because abusers don't care about laws or invading your privacy. Boundaries are obviously not going to help you from being physically attacked, financially coerced, blackmailed, etc.
However, they're very useful to act as clear lines that act as flags and show you when abuse is happening, or that those people are in fact abusing you, if they keep ignoring and breaking boundaries that you have set. When it becomes 'outright abuse' and not a 'social pressure' situation, the solution changes to 'escape the circumstances' which is unfortunately another 'simple but difficult' idea... but not the same idea.
