Do not keep promising to leave every time if there is nowhere to go, no transport, or no way to bring a child safely. Finding practical support and a safety plan with a suitable professional is more useful than repeating a threat that cannot be carried out.\n\nA boundary can be small and temporary: no money discussions late at night, no additional loan, or a request to postpone a conversation.

It is better to name an affordable possibility, such as helping check a service's intake terms, than to promise to pay for a course the household cannot afford.
