I find it challenging to establish healthy boundaries with my father, who tends to be overbearing and intrusive. It feels like any attempt to set limits is met with resistance or guilt. What should I do?

Setting boundaries with a parent can be tough, especially if they're used to being involved in every aspect of your life. Start by calmly explaining your need for space and privacy. Be firm but kind, and stick to your boundaries even if there's pushback. It may take time for your father to adjust, but consistency is key. Seek support from friends or a therapist if needed, and remember that prioritizing your well-being is important.

Popular opinionالسلام عليكم يا يا اخوات و امهات انا قابلت حد علي برنامج هاتفي اسمه muzz البرنامج ده للناس اللي بتدور علي شريك لحياتها. بعد فطرة كلمت حد بره الاب دا و قالي ان كل الولاد اللي عليه كذبين او مش عندهم ثقافت الزواج لاكن هما بيستخدموا الاب دا عشان يسطاده بنات. لاكن انا لاحظت ان في شباب بتسال علي تفاصيل و مش بتطلب الارتبات. و حاليا انا بقالي اسبوع بتكلم مع واحد بييحب الصفر زيي. المهم اني اعرف من الكلام معاه حجات كتير عنه. و طلب صورتي بعد م شافها علي الاب و بعت واحدة في عباية. و هو بعتلي ٣ صور لي. قال انه بييصلي و هو اصلا بيحسسني انه جد، انا عارفة ان دا متواقع بالنسبا لناس كتير بس انا بشتاق للكلام مع حد او اني اسمع حد و هو الوحيد اللي بيراسلني او بيكلمني من غير غضب او كراهية كراهية. الموضوع اللي بسال فيه هو اللي انا بعمله دا في مصلحتي؟ حرام علية ان ادور علي حد بالمواصفات اللي انا عيزاها؟ انا كنت واخدة الموضوع جد. بس انا برده مش بثق كويس في حد. اللي حسيته من كلامي معاه انه بيكلمني علي اني طيبة، بس مش في نفس الوقت بيحترم حدودي. انا عقلي بيخوفني من الناس و كل ما اراجع نفسي مش بحس ان هو اتخطي حد مديتهولوش. انا هكون صريحة هو بيعاكسني شوية و انا برد بي هزار و كلمته فالموضوع و اتفقنا ان نيتنا هزار عيال، حتي لو كان ايه. فا هو اتفق و بصراحة مش عارفة ابطل كلام او احط حدود في مكانها احسن من كدا. حتي بحس اني مش واثقة من نفسي. اللي ممكن يكلمني فالموضوع دا و يتناقش معايا او يساعدني افكر ازاي ان اخت او ام بجد انا مش قايلة عليه لحد. الحمد لله انا حسة ان الدنيا ماشية بي حدود و لسة بنتعرف علي بعد حبة حبة بس بنتكلم كل يوم...اللي هو زي ما هو قال احنا مش مشيين مع بعد بس أكتر من صحاب. ممكن اي اسالة ارد عادي انا اقضل اني اتعامل صح. انا مش عايزة اخصر احترامي قصاد نفسي بجد بس شخصيتي مش قوية ولا عندي خبرة فالمشي مع الولاد. انا بس ديرت التعامع الناس اللي اعرفهم فعلا اصغر و بتقل و حسيت ان الاب ممكن يجيب جدوي و دخلت بنية ان الاقي حد جاد عايز يدخل البيت من بابه. الولد مش طالب مني حاجة بس انا معرفش عنه اي حجات اساسية. عرفت اسمه الثناءي امبارح بس و ادهولي و هو مش متطمن. معرفش هو بيفقر بقلق زيي ولا لا. لاكن هو مش بيطلب مني اي حاجة و كمان عايز يخرج يتكلم معايا و نشرب قهوة. قاللي في عرابيته بس. اعمل ايه؟
