Where to start with setting boundaries.

Don't take responsibility for their feelings, choices, etc. that is outside of your control. Do be responsible for your own stuff. Set limits and tell them when they cross a line. There are some really good books about boundaries. I have the ones by Anne Katherine, and have learned a lot from them: http://www.amazon.com/Where-Draw-Lin...9002471&sr=1-9
