[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 420174"] I think about boundaries a lot because of the work I do. One thing that is clear to me is that both addicts and people who are abusive, overstep boundaries or invade your boundaries. Since some of our difficult child's have qualities of both it is no wonder as their parents we struggle keeping boundaries with them. Like I said I think about boundaries a lot for other people, but it is hard sometimes to be clear about boundaries with my own son. He has always always always pushed limits of any kind... and that is a boundary issue. He always pushes them to the max and our mistake some of the time is not to hold firmly to them and not being clear about them. And he is currently mad at me because I overstepped his boundaries by trying to get in touch with his girlfriend....i see that. Interesting. [/QUOTE]
