How do I set boundaries for an adult child without letting them go homeless.

Hi Misam,
If you can give a bit more info it would help us to better craft an answer. Meanwhile if you look along the top of this forum under tools, there is a drop down menu on boundaries .  This may give you some ideas.

General rules of thumb:
~ Get right within yourself on what you need.  Base a boundary(ies) on that
~ The boundary(ies) must be something you can enforce when  you have to ( and you will have to at some point).
~ You may have already realized it but it bears repeating: We can't change another adult, but we have power over our own lives/ homes .
