Title: Married for 20 years Post by: freedomforreal on October 24, 2018, 11:47:58 AM I had a nervous breakdown after a gradual slip back into caretaker role I am not setting healthy boundaries. About six years ago a read stop walking on egg shells and I was able to use the tools depersonalize his behaviors and detach with love and set healthy boundaries. As my health deteriorated I lost sight or maybe pretended like he wasn’t till maybe it was easier to do that but ultimately because I stopped taking care of myself and my physical health and my Mental Health got worse so now I am recovering at my moms house i’m feel like I’m starting over I know it’s going to take time to feel like I have control right now I am anxious to have the right words to have my needs met to say the right thing in conversation and start sticking up for myself again but I do feel weak I know Ill feel stronger that’s the plus is that I know where I’m at now it can only get better.
