I am sorry that you are in such shock and pain that your family is not getting along. It is hard.

I would advise you to carefully consider you options. Try writing out a list of options, including the positives and negative effects of each option. Looking at your options from a logical perspective, rather than the intense emotional perspective, will help you make the decision that is right for you.

Speaking with experience, I have cut all family ties and it wasn't easy for me. While my emotions were intense, following through with the decision was difficult. After about 1 1/2 years of being alone, I was able to accept the many mistakes that my parents made in my life. I am not gung-ho back into the relationship ~ I am taking it slowly, and keeping conversations very light so far. Maybe someday I will be able to forgive them completely. But acceptance is a huge step in the right direction to helping to ease MY pain.

Just be careful to use you "wise mind" to make these important decisions, rather than your deeply hurt emotional mind. I wish you the best ~ take care! Oh, and to Psych Central
