I hate when people say that you should always be close with your family even if you don’t like them. My dad has been verbally abusive my entire life and has created so many scenes in public because he has anger issues. Why would I want to keep that around

You shouldn’t have to keep them close, some ppl are not meant to be in your life forever and letting them go is what is healthiest and always ok bc you need to prioritize your wellbeing.

I hate it too. It’s caused me to keep them around much longer than I should have.

Fr I mean I cut my parents out of my life a month or so ago cause I told my parents my dad had to start seeing a therapist at the very least because I’m done with it cause he refuses to change his psychiatrist who is literally of no help and is the worst because he doesn’t do his job of even refilling my dads basic meds. I also cut out my brother too because he has been so spiteful of me and how my life is “better” because I make more and have had a long term relationship before despite the fact

That my ex was toxic and also cheated on me and I only make more because he would rather work a crummy low paying job just to be close to his friends rather than getting something higher paying that he’s easily qualified for that’s a bit further out…my mom also told me I should be considerate to both my brother and dad but I feel like they’re both lost causes and she’s in the wrong for letting them both behave this way and telling me to always be the bigger person
