[quote=Anonymous]What do you when someone doesn’t allow you to set boundaries. For example, my mother. She’s in town, and she has the firm expectation that I spend from the moment I wake to the moment I go to sleep with her, chatting with her, doing something with her. It’s extremely exhausting because we also have a five and seven year old, and I’m burnt out from all the stress of having young kids, working, activities, etc. I couldn’t even drink a cup of coffee this morning before she was in the kitchen loudly talking. I asked her to speak quietly because I didn’t want to wake up the kids, and she told me I was rude. She doesn’t give me any space, she has extreme untreated anxiety and she is manipulative. How does one establish boundaries like, “hey, kids are being quiet so I’m going to go for a walk alone.” If I was to say that, she would yell at me for being cruel. [/quote]
