I found ‘Boundaries’ By Dr. Henry Cloud and John Townsend helpful

It does have religious content which I know some people might reject out of hand however the authors do a good job explaining how and when to set boundaries and its not preachy.

Actually it is often the religious or spiritual minded person that wishes to be loving and unselfish that are more likely to forget to set their own limits and limitations.

Hi coffeeandtea,

I second the Boundaries book by Townsend. There are also spin off companion books of it from the same author.

There’s also a book Dealing Successfully with Screwed Up People that had strategies.

Go on Amazon and check them out! Amazon will also show: “Other Books Like This You May Like” in case there are other books like it! (There will be!!)

Good Luck!
