boundaries...

My therapist has asked me to work on my boundaries with the bloodsucker and I have not had much of a chance since her latest conquest and her are BFF's again.  But there is trouble in paradise again so guess what...  she it trying to talk to me again.  And of course it caused me to want to fight with her and I hate that I let her get me that mad.  So I thought about it and thought about it and decided that I was ready to tell her to leave me alone.  She had already left work so I called from work - hung up when I got her voice mail - I chickened out.  But I took a couple of moments and decided that I would just leave a message and  I did it!  I told the bloodsucker 'I need you to  leave me alone and it if doesn't have anything to do with work or my residents I didn't want to talk to to me'. I also told her that she and her latest conquest must be having trouble or she wouldn't be trying to talk to me 'So please leave me alone, thank you!'.  It hopefully closes a chapter of this particular stage of my life. And yes it did feel empowering!
