I never was homeless, but as a child I once saw my father breakdown as he struggled with how he was going to provide for his family. A few weeks later he found a job, but watching how that pressure and responsibility weighed on him has stayed with me all these years. Where my Mom and Dad were, meant home --- even when I lived 1000 miles away.

And crap, this comment was meant for the Friendship episode. It was so nice to "meet" Tabby! 💜

@Jennifer :For me, friendship is all trust. You have to respect and trust the other person's strengths and weaknesses and be there when they need you as much as they do the same for you. Similar interests make a great foundation, but time eventually splits the friends from the acquaintances. So much drama can still be found, even among people who claim to be adults. I've learned the hard way---by being the sole caretaker in a friendship because I didn't realize my mistake---that's it's easy to find yourself fully exposed to the wrong people, people who take and take and disappear when you need them. I have learned that I do better with people who give it to me straight. It may be hard to hear your effect on someone, but it's worse to discover everyone else knows the problem but you don't. Tell it to me straight. Let me have the chance to learn, fix, or explain. The people in my life who have stayed in my life no matter how far away or how long between visits/conversations are the people who give me truth.

Boundaries are a huge road block for me. I give too much of myself, whether it's wanted or not, but I get frustrated when others step onto my side, but have trouble telling them they've crossed that line. After hearing y'all say it, though, I finally understand what is meant by "It's not happening to me." The question I have is, what if the problem is happening to others, but it has resonating effects on me? Is it happening to me then? How do I detach from that? Still, this was an enlightening episode. Thanks ladies! 💕

I fucking LOVE this episode! I think we would get on so well if we ever met somewhere! I have said some of these exact things when people tell me I swear too much, or it's not "lady-like". Fuck that shit! I do me.
