For those who has purposely ended the relationship with family members I want to know what made it possible and how did you fight the cycle of getting back in touch with those toxic people. What made you stay strong and not get lured back in the toxic. I don't want my parents and brother in my life anymore but I'm on great terms with other siblings so how did you deal with family functions. I'm sick and tired of being the bigger person and just let go of the matter for the sake of peace in the family. I'm sick and tired of being sick to be in a toxic family full of betrayal, drunks, and physical abuse. Love is not enough to keep me in a family that doesn't appreciate me.
