So girl, I don't know who needs to hear this, but if there is a friend, a family member, or an ex or ex situationship that continues to come in and out of your life, I'm gonna need you to cut off all communication with him or her. This is a recipe for disaster when it comes to your boundaries as well as how you think about being treated. There's a reason why you consciously broke up with this person or created space from them. So when you allow them to come back into your life, you actually dishonor your own boundary and you say the boundary that I put up was not acceptable and it makes you distrust any future boundaries that you may want to set. What I want you to do right now is I want you to block all of those people that are coming in and out of your life that you have previously broken up with because they did not treat you right. You will be creating space for healthy relationships in the future when you do this.
