Perfect! I will share it.

I know some people who might really need to read this. I used to to be one of those people- many years ago. I’m in my late 60s now, so I have lived a lot of years and absolutely I get what you’re saying and agree. I see it all the time with people expecting others to take their advice. I’ve learned to allow people to live the way they want to live, to be true to their own destiny. If we want to support them, we need to get out of the way and shift. We can just love them still, even if we disagree with their decisions. We can support them on their path even if it’s not a path we would have ever taken.

thank you for your insightful and wise article !

I needed to read this. I’m also someone who thinks I’m nurturing but realizing it might have been an ego problem of thinking I was smarter so therefore I knew better but I cannot know a persons life better than them. If you have any thoughts on how to set emotional/energetic boundaries to halt codependency , I would love to read that!
