Chapter 1 Discussion

Chapter 1 takes a look at a day in a boundaryless life. Sherrie is the main character mentioned. She is facing the feelings of dreading the day before it even begins due to juggling all of the responsibilities. She is feeling helpless in many of the situations. Sherrie faces these questions: Can I set limits and still be a loving person? What are legitimate boundaries?

I want to start with those two questions as we explore boundary issues in our lives. Everyone has boundary issues. Some handle their boundaries better than others. No matter what area you struggle with, God has clear answers for how we should view our boundaries.Looking forward to hearing from others.

Boundaries

Boundaries...what are those? I really did not feel like I had any boundary issues until I began reading this book. I found that in just a short period of time I have gained years of understanding about relationships. How people think...why they do what they do...the ways I have allowed myself to be manipulated without even recognizing it...it's amazing. What are some of your thoughts? I am rebuilding my fence or am I tearing it down? It is hard to say...Do you have boundary issues that have been incognito? I'd like to hear about it...
