Can anyone say that they've been happier since going their own way?

I just wanted to say that for the first time in my life I feel a sense of control over who I allow in my life and how much I will tolerate from people. I also have a sense of peace.<br><br>I've put a lot of boundaries in place these past couple of years that I couldn't previously set or enforce because, quite frankly, I didn't know how to. Neither of my parents taught me about boundaries, they didn't know how to set them themselves. But after experiencing lots of pain, anger and sadness due to the lack of boundaries and becoming more self-aware, I've been able to put my foot down and say no to people that want to take advantage of me.<br><br>The way I've been treated by people was because I allowed it to happen. Not anymore!!
