Thank you for posting this, I know it must have taken a lot ot time and effort.

Boundaries are so important in any relationship, and until we learn how to set them, we leave ourselves open to be victims.
I believe it is important that the boundaries be about US and how we allow others to treat us, and not about THEM or used to control their actions.

When my son is raising his voice in anger or disrespect, I remove myself from the conversation, or ask him to leave my house. He can be angry anywhere else he wants, but he cannot direct it at me.

I am going to "sticky" this at the top for a while so that it does not get overlooked.

Thank you again.

Oops - It seems to get lost at the top right now, so I will let it rest where it is for a while, then sticky it later when most of us have had a chance to read it.
