"Boundaries are basically about limiting unacceptable behavior. Understanding how to set up and maintain healthy boundaries is a key factor in addressing what are sometimes called the Four M's of codependency, namely
managing, mothering, manipulation and martyrdom."
Establishing healthy boundaries can be challenging, especially when it comes to those we love and care about. I think understanding the concept of good boundaries is so important and the 4 M's sure make a lot of sense. The "managing" and "mothering" ones are the hardest for me - and the ironic thing is that I'm not even a mom LOL!
