People disliking your boundaries is NORMAL.
Keep setting them.
Rabbits dislike fences around your garden.
Doesn’t make them bad rabbits. Doesn’t mean you dismantle the fences.
Let people get used to the you that values your garden.

bell hooks said, “Love and abuse cannot coexist.”
That one line teaches us why it’s so hard to admit some of your parents, families, siblings, churches, pastors, etc. have been abusive.
To admit so would be to recognize they did not love you. Being useful is not being loved.

If my 13-year-old daughter were pregnant, would I want her friends to refuse to come support her?

Me: how do i owe $300 in overdraft fees when it’s only over by 37¢ (petty anyhow)?
Bank: bc you had 10 charges coming in that made it 37¢ over.
Me: ok, but only one charge went over.
Bank: yes, but 10 were pending to cause a negative balance, so each has a $30 overdraft fee.
The bank really does reorganize your transactions to make you overdrawn.
