[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 747003, member: 11235"] When you start setting and sticking to boundaries they always up the ante. He did it here running through his entire repertoire of excuses and fear-mongering to try and find what would work with you. It takes them awhile to figure out you're not going to fall back into old patterns. Keep sticking to your boundaries. He will get it eventually and figure things out on his own. Maybe not in the way you would like him to, but somehow. I know it's so difficult at first, but as you continue practicing healthy boundaries it gets easier and it really changes your interactions with your difficult adult child. :) [/QUOTE]
