It’s been four years since I have been back in the same state as them and frankly I would love to move back 10 hours away.
I would like to know have any of you cut off family and did it help you mentally?

this is quite a triggering topic for me.
my entire family were severely abusive to me growing up, and it got to the stage where they were going round telling people
the leaving the country part they did, and they also cut me out of their lives- telling me I wasn't welcome in their home, or to speak to them, or anything like that- as far as they were concerned, I didn't have a family
when they moved to africa, they continued a lot of the abuse by email and asked me if they could come back to england to " finish what they started"
I told them no, they'd done enough damage as it is
so I also cut them out from ever visiting- and it has helped me mentally,, but I am still at risk of email abuse.
that's my story..
