[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had to draw a hard line on my dad's wife's racist remarks. We only had to pack up and leave one time before they got the message. But that's what it took. Maybe that will get her attention. You've been expressing boundaries and she's been ignoring them, so it's time to remember that boundaries are about what *you* do, not about what the other person does. The boundary is that if he says racist things, you leave.[/quote] This is exactly what happened the last time. I packed up the car and my mom gave us hugs in the driveway. He refused to come tell us goodbye (oh, well) and my mom was upset that I wasn't the one extending the olive branch to him. I appreciate your advice on setting that boundary for next time. I think that's an excellent point--thank you![/quote]
