[quote=Anonymous]I had a family relationship where I tried to establish boundaries in terms of time spent with the family member as well as time spent communicating, as well as topics/types of communication. What I found was that the family member repeatedly expressed their irritation with the boundaries (passive aggressive comments, rolling eyes, body language, petty put-downs) or just pushed against the boundaries constantly (trying to get herself invited to events I said I was going to but did not invite her to, over and over again). It got so exhausting to guard the boundaries, because the family member did not seem to respect them. She seems to feel they were constantly open to interpretation. Anyway, OP sounds like my family member.[/quote]
