Hi @Daisydreamer thanks for the tag - I am not in lockdown over here in the West presently but will follow along regardless. Here's hoping that the lockdowns will be over soon as they are very bad for the communities mental health

I think with relationships in lockdown its very tricky because its such a separating time. I had a great weekend with calls to friends but theres lots of people its hard to have a conversation with now.

Hi @Shaz51 and @Oaktree , nice to see you here tonight!

[JungleGiants]

I guess family dynamics/boundaries are something im interested in, especially online. Its kinda hard living with family but not seeing other family members for months, let along friends

Question 2: Creating and sustaining healthy relationships often involve having boundaries. What are boundaries, and how do they help? What are some examples of healthy and unhealthy boundaries?
