I obtained this today from the reFocus group on cult and thought-control recovery issues. I thought some might find it interesting to read, if not helpful, since many of us here struggle sometimes with boundary issues:

This is one of the biggest issues I have faced, besides family issues. Learning boundaries, how to set boundaries, self-preservation, not feeling guilty all the time and learning when to say enough! I am finding that the stronger I am becoming, the less bull I am willing to put up with. After years and years of allowing every one called a brother or sister to know my personal life, I have also learned that my personal business is just that "my personal business" and I function on a "need to know basis" now. I have finally started to feel stronger and more confident in my own abilities and not needing to always have the opinion and approval of others. It has been a struggle but it is slowly getting easier.
