Melody Beattie

Guilt can prevent us from setting the boundaries that would be in our best interests, and in other peoples best interests.
Melody Beattie
Much of the time, the things we feel guilty about are not our issues. Another person behaves inappropriately or in some way violates our boundaries. We challenge the behavior, and the person gets angry and defensive. Then we feel guilty.
