First time trying to set boundaries

[Guest guest]

And I am scared. I am afraid she is going to go to my house while I am gone and

try to hurt my animals or harm my property. I am afraid she is going to keep

lashing out at the rest of my family. I know these fears will fade but I know

they will not go away because all my life has taught me that no matter how good

things get, no matter how peaceful times may seem, there is always a disaster

waiting to happen.

I feel guilty for thinking this way about her. I still wonder if I am doing the

right thing, handling it the right way. Will I regret the boldness that I

exhibited after learning so much so quickly? Will she try to make me regret it

if I don't capitulate?

And I have so much work to do. I am slipping further behind in my studies and

assignments. I know I have to pull myself together and work today, but I really

am scared.
