I don’t want to be a jerk, but you’re not seeing a therapist, are you? I get it, it’s expensive. It’s takes a lot of work. Years of work. Just be honest though, it will help us give you better advice.

I’m glad you came up with a plan and said no, but that’s not really much of a boundary. Please at least get some books from the library and do some reading. I can give you a list of books to read. Telling her no is good practice, but the situation hasn’t played out yet. Celebrate the win, but it’s a very, very small one.
