[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another great piece of advice. I really need to get myself out of problem solving mode and into more reflecting and validating. Did you notice a difference when you started responding more like your sample dialogue? [quote=Anonymous]"That sounds stressful Mom. Good thing you're a smart, capable lady who has experience handling difficult things. I know you can handle this too." That's your boundary. Acknowledging the difficulty, then reminding them they have dealt before, and encouraging them to handle it again. [/quote][/quote] Well, I've always been great at setting boundaries so have never had to deal with the sort of thing you're dealing with. I was basically born knowing the word "no" was a complete sentence. [/quote]
