Relationships should be a source of connection, not fear.

Sometimes we get to a hard place with a relationship where it seems there is absolutely no way to make it better. It can feel much less exhausting to simply go with the flow of someone else’s demands than to disrupt their dysfunction.

Though it may be difficult, it is crucial for us to be honest about our limitations, our capacity and what’s truly healthy. But what do we do when the other person doesn't agree with our boundaries and has now labeled us as bad or unloving?

In this never-before-seen bonus chapter, "How To Be an Absolute Disappointment and Live To Tell About It," Lysa will equip you to:

• Resist the temptation to give in to another person's demands — by identifying mindsets that may have been hurting you, not helping you.
• Develop confidence in your ability to set and keep boundaries by discovering truths about Jesus' own journey with other people.
• Take the next step in the relational dynamics you’re facing, with a list of eight considerations you can use to process your situation.
