Why Do I Say Yes To Things When I Want To Say No?

I do this to avoid confrontation with my Xhusband. We have a child together ( 55yrs old and mentally challenged ). He has an explosive temper and have a really hard time dealing with him. I am sole support and he does little to nothing to help. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

OH!! I watched the movie called, ā€œthe earthing movieā€, and in it they talk about a school with students who have challenges. The school has put in, groundingā€, rooms..( not punishment grounding, but grounding from electricity) and they say it has helped the kids immensely. It may be worth a look into it to help your son, ( and you). I tried it and the benefits are quite profound!
I highly recommend this movie to everyone!

Boundaries. I do the same all the time! Iā€™m not good at setting boundaries but when I think about it, itā€™s easier to just say yes when I want to say no! Frustrating! Itā€™s easier to put everyone and everything else first. I always think itā€™s because if I get their things done first then Iā€™ll have time for my things, but there are always more, ā€˜thingsā€™, that I have to do for someone else and I rarely get to my own stuff.
I need to learn to set boundaries and keep them in place!
