Did you break away from your family?

Question

Family is suppose to be everything. However, for me, not the case as I am the black sheep of the family. 
How does it feel when you finally leave your family who has been verbally and emotionally abusive? Is it worth it, do you heal?

Answer

My family is very toxic and I notice a huge change in myself when I'm around them and not in a good way . I put up some boundaries and try to talk to them at a distance . Learned what I could and couldn't go to them for and know how long I could be around them at a time . It look me atleast 3 years to be fully ok with it and understand but once you find peace and confidence in youself its hard to be around people that make you feel less than what you are💙 dont feel guilty!

Answer

It is 1000% worth it. They where/are manipulative and extreme narcissists. I learned patience, how to effectively communicate, how to socialize and how to recognize poor behavior in myself and others.

Answer

It’s very hard, and really never stops being hard. It’s the most natural thing in the world to want a family. In the end it’s still worth it though. It was the best choice I ever made for my own mental health as well as that of my children. Be strong and have faith in yourself.

Answer

So not me, but my husband finally cut off his family and he has since been SO much happier. It was a long process but worth it for him. They were extremely toxic and misery loves company so they were like a dark cloud following us around. It’s worth it in the end if they truly are terrible.

Answer

It’s honestly such a form of self care. It can be hard sometimes but at the end of the day it’s better to distance yourself from the negativity and be able to focus on the positive aspects of life. My mom was emotionally manipulative and was the only person who could get under my skin in the way she did. We haven’t had a relationship for going on two years now and I feel so relieved.

Answer

Honestly it’s SO refreshing.

Answer

Some people you just have to love from a distance. Keep the peace, but don’t surround yourself with them unless you feel the need to on holidays and birthdays. I’m in the same boat, girl. Sometimes blood doesn’t mean family
