Boundaries:
Concept 1 ~ Each person is responsible for their own actions and the consequences of those actions.
Concept 2 ~ We are keeping another person in an immature state by taking responsibility for his/her actions or the consequences for his/her actions.
In order to ultimately help and love someone, it’s better to be honest with ourselves and them. This will help them grow in character and they will be happier in the long run.
In the story below, the writer is describing Step 10 (of the 12 steps in AA) ~ “We continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.” This is a good illustration of how group members in a good meeting hold each other accountable.
