Cutting Ties with Toxic Family Members

Thank you so much everyone ❤️

I would not even speak to them. Being blood related means you have to take their toxicity. Have people around you who make you feel better

You can forgive them and love them from a distance

You are allowed to have boundaries to protect your peace and I'd they "don't understand" that isn't your problem and you don't have to own that. What they are doing is actually abusive and harassment and you don't have to put up with it from anyone, not even family. Take care of you and your son and maybe some day they will figure out how to behave and apologize but you owe them nothing.

Thank you Notthatkindofsick. My son actually lives on his own.

So I’m the same age as your son, and I think that this is a good opportunity to lead by example. He may feel that because it’s family, he can’t leave. Seeing you put up healthy boundaries may help him do the same. Whatever the case, I still think that you are making the best choice for you and your well-being.

My son is 24,old enough to make his own decisions but even he was shocked.

Explain to everone if they can resolve this thing of your ex. Your walking away and not look back and tell them they can't see your son

That’s so messed up. I’m sorry. I think that you are doing the right thing in laying down boundaries since they obviously are too self absorbed to reflect on their behavior. I don’t know how old your son is, but if he is still a kid, I think it is doubly good to protect him from that whole mess as much as possible. You are not being unreasonable in the slightest to distance yourself. Take care.

Exactly

Oh wow.

I have no clue,he hasn’t seen him in many years.

Rosita I completely understand where you are coming from here. So your family still has contact with your ex? Is there anyway that you can ignore your aunts? If they message or text you,just ignore the messages and text messages. They will eventually get the hint that you don't want to talk to them. Why are they questioning your son about your ex and his gf though

No one else had a problem chatting with me. Sorry but this doesn’t seem right.

My name is John and I have had an experience similar to yours I would need to know how old you are in order to help you out at all If you'd like my advice or my experiences just tell me yes And we will get together somehow by email or Chat
