What I really (tried) to say was "if not then I have limited to no contact with them". So some people I simply limit contact with, others I totally get rid of (depending on the situation and the status of the relationship apart from that).
In reading your responses to both myself and rollercoaster, I think you and I agree on how to best handle it.
I totally agree with you that not everyone cares to hear what makes you feel certain ways (be it good or bad feelings). As far as the 15 year old daughter, I think that depends on the emotional maturity level of the daughter as well as her ability to process information and understand it vs processing information and just accepting it or rejecting it. If she is either not highly emotionally mature or is not good with processing information and understanding it, than I agree with you - better left unsaid. If, however, she is both highly emotionally mature and good with processing information and understanding it .. then a heart to heart discussion could be beneficial.
Just my thoughts though. ❤

Thanks.
And oh, no worries, I think that's a small misunderstanding, I didn't think you literally cut of every single person. I did mention I did cut off a lot of people though. I agree with you about being selective like that. It was just a lot of chaos initially for me because I didn't even know what was going on anymore, so it felt like I was truly gonna have to cut off everyone, and I had no idea anymore if I could rely on relationship status etc etc. I did figure out over time that I can rely on that after all, just had to recalibrate things based on my experiences.
Makes sense, what you said about the daughter and hope it helps OP too.
