I'll see if I can't find a copy somewhere to read. Thanks. My allergies are the best they've been in years, so I guess the boundary setting is working for me! My husband used to be allergic to cats, certain foods, and certain smoke and exhaust fumes, but he, too, has found balance in boundaries, so most of those allergies are gone. We've had two cats for seven years now! Thanks for your comment! The short story sounds interesting. I’ll see if I can’t find a copy somewhere to read. Thanks.

Thanks Interestingly, I often see patients with "autoimmune" disorders - illnesses where the body's defences attack the body itself, or, at least, go into overdrive and produce excessive reactions (allergies for example) - almost always, such patients have problems with boundaries! Your question at the end there reminded me of one of my most favourite Raymond Carver short stories - "Elephant" - if you've never read it, then I DO recommend it Great post. Thanks
