Hey @Owlunar Of course! How are you feeling today? 

[Owlunar]

I'm okay @amber22 

Just uncomfortable - I have to be honest with people and have firm boundaries.

Somethings I just don't need but a hot chocolate would be fine

Totally understandable @Owlunar Boundaries are important to implement and can be uncomfortable to do, but are really important and worth while in the long run. 

How has your day been today? What have you gotten up to?

[Owlunar]

Thanks @amber22 

I have an interesting life and this week has already been interesting

The post was something approved by the moderators - I had emailed with them several times.

I have limits - and need to maintain boundaries. I feel okay about that but not with the response which I know would not be good. 

I'm sorry about the reaction though - and I have no control over that

Thanks

Thank you for saying that @Owlunar I know that it is tough to set boundaries but it is really important. It is completely okay to react the way that you feel as well, as long as it is respectful then it's alright to express how you are feeling. 

We really value you here on the forums 

I hope that your week has been okay despite it being interesting. Have you gotten up to much so far? @Owlunar
