This is a side fear of mine because my family had attempted to commit me, or used the threat of committal (but then decided against it because I might tell them what happened at home).

I watched my mom attempt to commit my brother under false pretenses into a psych ward because he asked her to participate in family counselling.

My aunt has insisted I was in a psychosis when I caught her in a lie, and attempted to gaslight me into believing I have a poor memory, and accused me of lying about the abuse.

I was no contact with my mom but my aunt has attempted to disregard my boundaries by handing out my address to my mother before she died. I think she did it to show me she doesn't believe me and to punish me for saying I was (reasonably) afraid of my superintendent.

Of course my aunt swears up and down I attacked her about this information and swears she never said she almost gave my address to my mother (although she did). I have a concern she will continue at attempting to disregard my boundaries because I have changed my phone # and email so she can't contact me.

I have a side fear of them intruding on my life in damaging ways.

Can you go "no contact" with your family, and work through what they did to you with a professional you trust?

I am no contact but they know where I live. I am doing some cognitive processing with a therapist and we are working developing feelings of safety.

Moving is on the menu right now too.

In the US, it would be very hard these days for relatives to commit you. I do not know about Canada, but probably the same.
