#defineandrespectyourself

I know firsthand after my own experience that establishing or setting new personal boundaries are extremely powerful and important especially after a divorce or relationship break up for several reasons.

Firstly they serve as barriers to protect your self-esteem. They are also tools for establishing limits with others and communicating that you won’t tolerate certain behaviours. Those without personal boundaries commonly end up in less than ideal situations and relationships. This is the same whether you are divorced or not.

Without setting boundaries or limits, you become a victim to the whims of those around you. Personal boundaries are about respecting yourself and demanding respect from others.
