Anyone here have anything to add about boundaries and maintaining them?
OY! The $640,000,000,000,000,000 question!
Be honest & direct but kind, if possible. (Unfortunately in my experience some people need a 2 x 4 to the head to get their attention. ) Use the words "yes." and "no." often. As well as "I think...." "I feel....." and "In my opinion...." And did I mention say the word "NO!" often?

Doesn't make me feel better, no meaning to me for sure.
Can't stop you from praying and blessing me,
and if that makes you feel better feel free.
But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me.
And let's all respect each other's feelings.
With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."
