Setting Rules
I'm about halfway through Codependent No More and really getting a lot out of it. I have a question for everyone: How appropriate is it to set rules in your house knowing perfectly well the rules will be broken and also knowing you're not ready to enforce the consequences yet?
I had someone tell me that I should forbid alcohol in the house, but it's not only my house. And my A doesn't want that rule yet. So, if I set that rule and it gets broken, which I know it will, isn't that just me trying to control everything again? Comments please. Thank you.
