A person has the right to change a relationship that is not working. This is true even with family members. This idea can bring a person relief and validation. Giving a name to a confusing feeling helps a person understand it. For example, feeling suffocated by a parent's love can be called 'enmeshment.' Naming the problem makes it feel solvable. When a person sets a boundary, they may feel guilty. This guilt is not a sign of doing wrong. It means old habits are changing. The guilt shows progress. Parents teach children what they know about love. Sometimes, parents have limits in their emotional understanding. A person can learn what their parents could not teach them. This helps break old family patterns. A person might worry about negative reactions, like 'What if they get mad?' It is helpful to also think, 'What if they don't get mad?' This can open the door to a better relationship. It helps a person take action despite fear.
