@Spirit_Healer Oh! Sorry if I kinda, pushed you to be all reveal-y!

That is so true what @rav3n says too - the boundaries can get pretty blurry when it's family!! I am the 'baby' of my family too, they're always trying to protect me from stuff and I'm like... Umm not only am I in my 30's but I'm pretty sure my mental health and resilience is better than any of ya's! Lol 

What if you kinda... put the boundary in for him? Obvs depends on your relationship but something like, "Hey, I'm really noticing the impact this is having on you, and whilst I am incredibly grateful for all the support, those impacts can now be felt by me as well, and it is actually having a negative impact on my recovery. This isn't sustainable for either of us, so let's work together to find a different approach. I still want you to look after me, but I need you to look after you first." something like that?

@Shaz51 aww hun, that's rough! Maybe you gotta plan a little Shaz holiday, where you don't have to cater to anyone but you!! Or would you miss him too much? Teehee
