You Can Set Boundaries with a Toxic Person

You’ve probably heard this before — “You need to get over it.” The people who hurt you want you to forgive and forget and put the past in the past. To them, your feelings aren’t important. It’s all about them, and there’s always a reason why your feelings don’t matter. You lose hope or think that there is nothing you can do because it’s someone in your family, it’s your spouse, or it’s an in-law. You justify their behavior and ignore how you truly feel. You don’t think there’s anything that can be done. “You don’t know so-and-so.” You no longer have to give power to that narcissist, that bully, that toxic person. You were created for healthy relationships, and you are deserving of the love and support you’ll receive to drive away the critical thoughts that leave you hopeless.
