Someone pointed me to an article about boundaries on the Livestrong site. I found it and another article about detachment useful.

FWIW, A boundary I set was “When I believe I have been communicated to with the respect and common courtesy I show the person bagging groceries I will respond to you.”

Easy for me to do as our children are grown.
