[QUOTE="detachingmother, post: 679958, member: 20063"] I do also believe that when we set our own boundaries, and all of us probably differ in our boundaries, we need to first verbalize it clearly to them. Loud, proud, and clear. IF it's already been clearly laid out then they cross the boundary, then you have to be firm...there is no other way on this one. OR it won't work. That way there's no misunderstanding (well this is almost subjective with mentally ill, but even the mentally ill can figure it out with enough reinforcement and repetiveness, even our animals can figure it out).
