A boundary is a clear statement of what you will do to protect safety, honesty, and stability.
Plain answer
A boundary is not a speech, a threat, or a way to control another person. It defines your own action if a behavior continues. In addiction families, boundaries work best when they are specific, realistic, and connected to follow-through.
