Those rules are good but useless if your mom ignores & disrespect ls boundaries like both my parents usually do. It’s better to go no or very low contact with toxic abusive parents

Yeah, you really can't tell other people what to do. The expression here in the US used to be, "you vote with your feet" - like you dont go to stores or churches or whatever that you dont like for whatever reason. Find ones you DO like. Same goes for people.

Agree with other people. You can't control your mom, she's going to do what she wants to do. If she's that toxic, cut her out.

Yeah, unfortunately people that constantly bulldoze through our boundaries aren't going to accept those sorts of rules. I know, my mother is one of them. We've cycled through low contact or no contact most of my adult life as a result. It was never possible to have a reasonable conversation with her.
