As Drs. Cloud and Townsend say:
When you were born, God placed you into a family for a season of time to help you grow into a mature adult. At some point this season ends, and your relationship with your family changes from child-to-parent to adult-to-adult. The roles change from dependency and authority to mutuality. While you are to respect and care for your parents, you are no longer under their protection and tutelage. Children are to obey parents, while adult children are to love and honor them. Therefore, situations will occur where you need to make a decision apart from your family with which they may not agree. But, as you and your family give the mutual freedom to make your own choices, genuine love can be expressed that works to strengthen your relationship.
The holidays create situations where you may need to set boundaries with family members who don’t understand how their behavior affects you. With Boundaries for the Holidays, you will be equipped to make wise decisions that ultimately brings your family closer together.
