Dealing with Toxic People: A Struggle

I know it can be really hard to deal with toxic family members/friends. But you can't expect that people will learn or even be better. I know it's easier said than done but sometimes the only option is to cut people off. I've delt with a lot of toxic people in my life, my father being one of them. It was really hard to sever that bond because I really needed a father figure as a trans masc growing up. But his only goal was to wear me down and it took me years to realize that. Like I said, it's a difficult choice, but (personally) it can be a really good option. I'm not saying you have to, I'm just letting you know that if it comes to that you WILL be okay <3
