When Boundaries become Barricades
About this poem
This poem is about family and the impact trauma and mental illness has on the whole family, often causing family members to put up boundaries due to the behavior from mental illnesses of the victim derived from the trauma. This poem is about when boundaries, which are healthy, become unhealthy and thus no longer boundaries, but cold with lack of any empathy for the victim.
