I am chatting with a friend who  came out of a dangerous marriage a couple years back.  She lame ts that she keeps ending up with bad men, or friends that dont work etc.  She came to the conclusion it's because she is hearing her pd family of origin messages in her mind.  She is still using their rules to select who she hangs around with.

I am pondering this for myself and  finding not so much my selections of social contacts, bit other areas of my life still impacted by "rules" that don't work for me any longer. 

Whose rules am I using and why might be a good thing to focus on for the new year.
