Know Your Rights
In any relationship, you have rights. Because someone is your parent, your partner, or has significant emotional challenges, does not change your right to your rights. You have the right:
- to feel safe in the relationship
-to be treated respectfully
-to not be abused verbally, emotionally, or physically
- to be heard
- to be appreciated and valued
- to have your privacy and boundaries respected
- to have your needs met
- to feel good about yourself in the relationship
And that just about does it. Naturally, I don't expect this packet to completely eradicate your emotional landfill, or solve the problems of the world- but it's a start, a way to get that snowball rolling. If you are interested in learning more, or simply need a friend, please don't hesitate to email me at ariaweb2003@yahoo.com. My door is always open.
Take care,
Alex
