Does anyone else find their family toxic?

Question

I swear they have made me feel worse about myself and my future than the kids who bullied me into the hospital.  
It may sound like I’m exaggerating but when you’re surround by emotional, mental and physical abusers it’s really hard to feel worth anything 😔

Answer

My mom, only family I have left, is toxic. She’s a source of my anxiety and pain. I’ve been the parent out of the both of us.

Answer

Mine!! 💯 my mom is toxic

Answer

Yes, my mother. Which is why I rarely talk to her 
She doesn’t contact me. I don’t contact her. Easy peasy 
My life has been much, much better without her and I’ve seen myself come leaps and bounds mentally and emotionally without her in my life

Answer

When my father died, I wasn’t allowed to grieve because every conversation with my mom was about her grief and her struggle and her pain. Any time I mentioned my own feelings, she would explain how hers were worse.
When I broke up with my boyfriend, she told EVERYONE that he cheated on me (he didn’t; we were poly). I told her not to, but she did anyway. She continues to do so. My older brother is planning SOMETHING to punish my ex, which could potentially result in him going to prison. I told him to stop, but I don’t think he will. 
My family does a lot of stuff without asking if it’s okay, and this makes me angrier than anything.

Answer

My mom, and 2 sisters have been toxic for a long time. I stopped talking to them for almost 5 years now. Because of one of my sisters, my dad is starting to be toxic too. 
I’d rather be with my husbands family then my own.

Answer

I have to handle my family in little increments. Both of my parents always have something negative to say whether it be about my college choice, or about my SO or just anything they can find really. They don’t understand why I don’t hang around them very much.

Answer

I wish my mom just beat me, physical pain is so much easier to handle then mental and emotional. Im def scarred for life.. hope it gets better for you

Answer

Mine, you’re not alone!

Answer

After my mother died, I cut my entire maternal side of the family out of my life. They're a bunch of psychopaths. My father is the only person still alive on that side of the family so it's just him and my sister I talk to. Thankfully, my inlaw family is amazing and more than make up for my lack of family. Sometimes you have to remove the toxins to make life better.

Answer

Yes family can be toxic especially mentally.  Keep yourself at a distance.
