One of the things I realized while I was watching this is that when I don't have good boundaries I am in MORE pain. I stress more and for a longer period of time. Even though I am worried at that time about suffering from someone elses anger for setting my boundaries, living in fear. I THINK I am avoiding pain, but I am actually causing myself more pain.
