[quote=Anonymous]The man probably has learned a host of placating methods because he has had to deal with these people since birth. He isn’t going to see this reasonably. OP, try to understand that he probably believes he is using the same bad coping methods to save you from more drama. He will have to come to understand the need for boundaries on his own. You can’t make someone understand that. You can support him emotionally while he tried to navigate his abusive family. I watched my brother go through it with my mother. It took him about 10 years to understand his role in placating and enabling. He felt like it was his job in life, and the way he thought he was supposed to be a good man and son. He is in therapy now. [/quote]
