How can I create boundaries for myself and coexist with my parents, sisters, and nieces?
You can't please everyone all the time.

My parents have not liked some of the boundaries I set, and that's their problem, not mine.

I am not responsible for how others interpret a boundary and their feelings associated with it.

My 33-year-old AD is not allowed in my house, period, end of story.

You have every right to put your foot down and not allow your addict sister there.

People can get glad in the same pants they got mad in, or wear several pairs before they get over it.
