“Why this boundary matters to you.
Example: This boundary matters because I need to keep my son safe.
You have the right to set boundaries.
Example: I have the right to decide who or what comes into my home.
When other people respond unfavorably, it doesn’t mean you’ve done something wrong.
Example: My father’s anger doesn’t mean I’ve done something wrong.
You’re not responsible for how other people feel about your boundaries or how they respond.
Example: My father’s feelings and actions aren’t my responsibility. It’s not my job to make him feel better.”
