A boundary is completely enforcable--by you. If your boundary is not to be in the same room with someone who is getting drunk, you can leave the room. If your boundary is not to be in a car with a driver who has been drinking, you can find another way to get wherever you're going. It puts you in charge of yourself.
Thank you...one of my boundaries is not to allow him the 'comfort' of thinking l believe his lies anymore. I will not be treated like a fool. Turning a blind eye is one thing but allowing him to think I buy his excuses and lies is quite a different matter.
And you're right...I do deserve more than this. X
