purple: I am saddened that it was necessary to not see your children.
Jennifer,
I don't see my family either. It was not a choice, it was a matter of survival. I actually moved to get away from the memories. I broke off contact with absolutely everyone. ex. I wanted to see my grandmother but knew she would tell me stuff about other family members that I didn't have the health to hear. And I was not comfortable asking her to keep contact with me a secret. I am pretty sure that she has since passed away.
I haven't seen my son either. He was so controlled by other family members that it was impossible to have a healthy relationship with him. It was continue to get hurt in a bad relationship ... or leave.

how did you fight the cycle

self preservation... the whole mess triggered general anxiety
I have healed somewhat. With continued contact, I would have had no healing whatsoever

ps I am sad if it has come to that for you
