Printed in 2021, I read this and found it to be organized, straight forward, and filled with helpful relatable examples.

It was recommended by my T.

It gave me permission to have boundaries with my mother.

It showed me the boundaries I've been missing with her, and how to do better.

It is well written, easy to read, and she doesn't beat around the bush about the importance of maintaining boundaries in a difficult relationship.  Lot's of guidance around how to proceed.

Very helpful and practical.  I would recommend this book.

Thank you for sharing.

I am interested in relaxing some of my boundaries to allow my pwBPD to reconnect emotionally.  I went from having almost no boundaries, to really strict ones to stop the violence, stop the rages, and limit the emotional dysregulation directed at me and our children - we now have peace in my home, and our children are much happier.

I am interested in having 'just right' boundaries using the goldilocks analogy.  I went from having too 'soft' to too 'hard' and I desire to have 'just right' boundaries.

Would your book recommendation be good for this?  I've already started this process, I am interested if this book has specific examples.

Thanks for listening.

Take care.
