How to Set Boundaries with a Parent – CrucialSkills, the official VitalSmarts blog

I’m not sharing this for any particular reason, but this post came across my feed this morning from the good folks at VitalSmarts, and I always appreciate their posts about relationships and setting boundaries.

Joseph Grenny addresses a reader’s question about setting a firm boundary as an adult with a parent who is narcissistic and abusive. I appreciate how he delineates the work the adult child needs to do to establish emotional independence while also affirming the power of good boundaries for mental health.

In general, the blog posts at the Crucial Skills blog are 100% worth your time, every time.

I write. I design. I read and think. I teach. I talk to people -- all kinds of people. My career journey includes working as a librarian, teaching for over a decade, working in higher education, freelancing as a graphic designer and marketing consultant, and earning a doctorate (as of 2022). My dream job would cross-pollinate the skills of barista and consultant, helping individuals and organizations understand the problems they face, ask better questions, and design solutions that work in their contexts. My research interests include improving STEM education in college classrooms, Design Thinking and human-centered design, relational and collective theories of leadership, knowledge life cycles within organizations, and faculty development. Somewhere back in time, my students started calling me "RameyLady" and the name stuck.
