    Like this one too. So many times my attempts to communicate my boundaries get derailed.

    Such wonderful guidance with clear scriptural support. My question is how can you set a boundary with a family member who lives at a distance and will not speak with you?

    What great advice. Thank you Jim and P31 for providing this for us. These conversation scripts sound like a wonderful idea, but chapter 6 that deals with emotional immaturity really set the flag on fire for me. I know it's timing and I have the whole script in my head but it's never received well because of the emotional immaturity, so because of that I've set the boundary of not talking about it all. I know that's not a good boundary for me. This boundary benefits him only. It's a vicious cycle but I will persevere for my own healing.

    Wonderful information! I will be thinking on this alot. I will probably adjust "my truth" to "my need" or "my perspective", etc. I find the "my truth" to be problematic, especially as how widely is it used and misused these days.

      I understand what you mean by not speaking the exact same language as pop culture, but they are bridging generations with a message that includes us all, in an intelligent way that is not condescending or unintelligent. It is clearly done with care and greatly appreciated 😊

    When someone tells you they are setting a boundary - and it feels more like an ultimatum- how do you respond? Our son said he’s setting the boundary that if we will not attend his gay wedding, that he will see that as no support or celebration of his relationship and will no longer be in a relationship with us. We are crushed - confused - and praying for wisdom.

      Not attending your son's wedding was you setting a boundary - that you cannot accept his gay identity. His response reflects how deeply attached he is to that identity. He is saying if you cannot celebrate your son's identity, he can't feel held in your love. That's a painful thing for a child.
