Cutting Ties with Family Due to Triggers

I don't willingly talk to my extended family because of religious trauma. Any time I make a choice, it is met with unwanted religious guidance and comments from them. I believe my real family are those I choose.

My father was probably one of the biggest triggers so I stopped keeping him actively involved in my life a few years ago. It was honestly freeing. It is difficult some days but the good out weighs the bad. Family can be who you choose. It doesn't have to be blood. Find your family and things will get better
