Dysfunctional Relationships: Change-Back Moves When You Set Boundaries
Thursday Jul 24, 2025
Thursday Jul 24, 2025
People in dysfunctional relationships make change-back moves when you set boundaries, which are designed to get you to back down. They do this because they don't want to change their behavior. They don't want to be accountable and take responsibility for their actions. They don't want to respect your limits and needs. They consider their own needs and desires more important than yours.
Because of all these things, they manipulatively do whatever it takes to make you back down when you set boundaries. This scripture-supported video will help you set Christian boundaries. Watch this video to learn how to recognize these change-back moves. #setboundaries #dysfunctionalfamilies #christianboundaries

Relationship Safety Ultimately Comes Down to You
Thursday Jul 10, 2025
Thursday Jul 10, 2025
Relationship safety involves both people being trustworthy, honest, dependable, and emotionally healthy. A safe person doesn't cause harm, but an unsafe person causes harm by their words and actions.
When you are in an abusive, toxic, and/or dysfunctional relationship, you aren't safe. You can set boundaries to try to get changes you need to feel safe, but you cannot depend on the other person. Relationship safety ultimately comes down to you.
