I know in times like these we can be tempted to make our boundaries a last priority.

We also might be tempted to contact people who have been repeatedly harmful to us - past family members, exes, past friends, etc., [1]

Will communicating with them bring you peace?
Will they honor and respect your boundaries? [2]

In the past how has your relationship with them impacted the ways you were able to show up for yourself and the ways you were able to show up for other people? [3]
