Dear Nuttybuddy,
Keep doing what you are doing.
You seem to be on a good path for yourself.
I think you are right about the med issues requiring us to be alert. Also to be firm in our dealings with people for example..........protect ourselves. All of that is good I believe.

[quote=nuttybuddy;61200]I am learning to assert myself and SET BOUNDARIES to protect myself, not control a situation but boundaries is my new word.

This is very true!
setting up what is acceptable behavior from someone and then not rewarding bad behavior....I choose to ignore bad behavior as a self protective measure.
It is like being able to choose your friends....
there is also the word "limits"
limits and boundaries are both great words!
