Susana (2) - Learning to detach

[Sotto]

Hi Susana - I think the problem with a boundary is - how do you enforce that one? If he goes off again to his parents without telling you, what are you going to do in response?

If you wanted to make a request, that doesn't seem unreasonable. But I wouldn't do it on the basis of - I'm on my own and I don't like it - I would choose another reason....Just want to know you're safe, so that I won't cook for you, or similar. Choose a valid reason that supports a vision of you as someone who has plans with our without him - but who just wants the courtesy of knowing (as a fellow house dweller) that he won't be around that weekend.
