4. Communicating Effectively with your Relative and Setting Limits
View
Activity: Boundaries and limits
Think of examples or limits you have set in the past in your relationship with a person who has a substance use problem, or in other relationships. It can be confusing when you try to support and love the person who uses substances, and yet at the same time you try to set limits.
Consider the following scenarios. Which of these scenarios would you tolerate? Which ones would you not tolerate?
Everyone has different boundaries and sets different limits, and there is no right and wrong. You need to make your own decisions.
