Boundaries

Do you have relationships in which you feel taken advantage of? Do you feel resentful at times? Do you ever regret agreeing to things? Do you have long-time friends or family members who push your buttons, sometimes in ways you don't quite understand and have never confronted? Do you feel like all you do is give while others take from you? Do you need some of these relationships to change in your life?

You need to read Boundaries by Henry Cloud and John Townsend.

I finally finished it. Every chapter has something wonderful in it that helps you analyze and understand your own feelings in relationships and how to better those relationships, whether with a spouse, a child, a friend, a fellow church-goer, or a co-worker. Boundaries create the environment for healthy relationships and the opportunity for you to take responsibility for your own life. It also gives you the confidence to say no when you need to.

Trust me, it's worth the read!
