Sometimes the actions and behaviors of others might worry us, frighten us, or exhaust us. When we are exhausted, we have a clear signal that we cannot keep doing more of the same. Sometimes that means setting limits with our loved ones, even if they are struggling with illness, and outlining what we will no longer tolerate--and expect them to get help. That can actually be one of the most loving things we do for them.

He spends money on himself and gets mad if I spend money on my family. He always says what about me over and over again and goes into to a rage.
