I get really annoyed when people outside of my disfunctional/emotionally abusive family try to get involved and play emissary to patch things up. It really annoys me because they didn't have to endure what I've endured. I feel as if I don't owe anyone any explanations and to heck with "blood is thicker than water".

Anyone else have to deal with this when cutting off toxic family? As if it's something extremely taboo that ignorant and traditionalist people can't begin to comprehend. Don't get me wrong, I don't really care at this point what others think of me and my decision to end contact with my toxic family. I never been popular and don't intend to start now.

It just is frustrating and I am tired of getting out the scissors (figuratively speaking) and cutting more ties.
