Troubleshooting (6)
Let them in against better judgement: Set immediate time limit; minimise engagement. Discuss holding boundary next time.
They push past into house: 'You need to leave right now.' Serious conversation about future contact.
Baby boundary violated during short visit: Intervene immediately; visit ends. Restrict future baby access.
Partner disagrees about admission decision: Handle visit as agreed; discuss privately later. Alignment session before next time.
They claim emergency requiring entry: Assess: real or manipulation? Offer to call help. If fake: major trust violation.
You freeze and don't know what to do: Default: 'This doesn't work right now.' Close door. Prep more next time.
