I hear you—you’ve had enough, and distancing yourself feels like the best option right now. The human part of you is grieving, and grief often comes with bargaining. Thoughts like, “Maybe I don’t have to feel this loss,” can arise. It’s natural to want your worth to be seen, hoping it might inspire the other person to change their hurtful behavior.
But the truth is, those hurtful actions likely stem from issues that existed long before you were in their life. That means you can’t change them—and that’s okay. Letting go is an act of self-care.
When we set boundaries with the expectation that someone else will change, we hand them power over our mental health. If they don’t change, we might feel like we’re not enough. But when you set a boundary for yourself, you take back control of your mental health. You affirm that you are already enough, regardless of what someone else does or doesn’t do.
If this resonates with you, reach out. At BNT, our main focus is on helping you repair and strengthen the relationship you have with yourself—that’s what makes us different! and ready to help!
