I have been doing so much inner work with boundaries since my divorce from a very toxic marriage two years ago. I’m feeling increasingly healthy on it with everyone but my two teenagers. While overall they are good hearted kids, I’m struggling with what to do with how much of the time they respond to me in a rude tone of voice or are complaining (ad nauseam). I would never choose to hang around anyone who was in this frame of mind or who talked to me in this tone. It would be a deal breaker and I’m really clear on that. But, on a daily basis, I’m surrounded with it with my kids who I live with (and of course, love). It’s taking a lot of my energy to not be reactive to it. Thanks for any tips you can give me. 😉
