There is always a chance that could happen.

Once you focus your efforts on maintaining a good relationship rather than thinking about how to show them that they hurt you, setting boundaries becomes much easier.

However, you need to remind yourself from time to time that you do not actually harm them with your actions. You can stay in a hotel instead of your parents' house when you visit them, although they will object to that.

There is a chance that such a step will cause you to feel guilty.

So first of all, remember that disagreeing does not mean at any cost you hurt them. You just want to do what you think is right.

One of the hardest parts of setting a boundary with an emotionally immature parent is dealing with their reaction.

These people know how to get emotional, argue, blame and even vilify. In this way, they feel they in their elements. Quite often they don't even listen to what the other party is telling them. The important thing is that they speak up.

If you react in the same way and try to beat them on their ground, with the same tricks and tactics, you will most likely lose because you won't be able to keep up with the breakneck pace.

An effective countermeasure is to remain calm and assert your position in a non-controversial manner. You can be polite, yet at the same time, you can delicately make it clear that you won't step back and will do what you think is right.

Gen Z should not forget that emotionally immature people are used to ignoring the preferences of other people.

If you can keep the conversation going to your liking, they will eventually run out. Excessive emotions will exhaust them.

It might take a while, but it is worth the wait.
