Re: Relationships: Maintaining boundaries when experiencing complex mental health issues
Thanks for starting this Thread/ Discussion @Shaz51
@Zoe7mentioned being able to improve boundaries & the relationship with her mother - after considerable effort & a hard conversation.
I've been able to improve boundaries (over several decades), with my mother also - Although I am not able to have a "Boundary Conversation" with my Mum.
When my Mum does not like anything that she is hearing (or that I say) - She either Screams at me (over the Telephone), or she Hangs Up on me & Terminates the phone call.
This makes Asserting Myself with my Mum (or Setting Boundaries) Almost Impossible.
It is a form of Communication Sabotage - because by Hanging Up & Terminating the phone conversation, my Mum is stopping me from improving the relationship (by setting healthy boundaries).

Re: Relationships: Maintaining boundaries when experiencing complex mental health issues
@Former-Member , are you able to include the links here to the info pages you referred to tonight in the chat? That is, healthy relationships/boundaries and the differences between rigid, porous and healthy boundaries? I think both are fantastic resources to share.

I tried to get on @Shaz51 but could not get into the site. And no links worked either.

Re: Relationships: Maintaining boundaries when experiencing complex mental health issues
You've got a lot of the members that were present I think @Shaz51 😊. Apart from that, off the top of my head, there was also @eth & @pipinya
I can see the lovely @Emelia8 & @TAB have joined us here too! I'm sorry you weren't able to join/ make it, but we'd love to hear any other thoughts you'd like to contribute on the topic, so feel free to post them here!

Re: Relationships: Maintaining boundaries when experiencing complex mental health issues
Sorry I missed it!
I had a medical appointment to go to and now I am so stuffed from it. As per the instructions given after the appointment was to go home and sit with a heat pack and apply lots of heat. I have been melting away my soreness.
I'm exhausted, but feel better!

Re: Relationships: Maintaining boundaries when experiencing complex mental health issues
Do you have any idea why I could not join the meet up tonight @TideisTurning ?
I had registered earlier in the day, saw my name there and everything. But tonight I just kept gettin a message telling me I could not access the site.
Incidentally the links to 'get support' on this site, are also not working for me tonight.
