I have boundaries in place for me, my kids are adults, I don't have a cheating spouse.
A for as the definition of works, I used it in the context of decision-making throughout the process.
No on is disagreeing with you on the boundaries, it's just you can't decree it and make it so. Forcing someone to set boundaries before they are able to enforce them will be counterproductive in my estimation. That's the process, when the time is right they will do it. For some the time is never right and they never do it.
Life goes on.
And there are many ways to skin the proverbial cat.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
