level.
Remember when setting your boundaries, make them realistic, one you can and will stick to without hurting your sanity. Your "A" will most likely test these boundaries so be ready to show they are real. Mine tested my first boundary.. about three times he gave up (and boundary is working)! He tested my second boundary a couple times (and boundary is working)!.Boundaries work!
My lesson or awaking moment rather.......... being he tested these boundaries it made me go back and revisit ones I came up with. I said to myself: if he tests this one, am I ready to follow through with this, do I want to follow through with this right now and realized there were some I was not ready for. So I set them aside for now and will come up with some others that will help in the situation, and ones I know I can do and will stick with!
