Better off and free to grow than the toxic influence you try to avoid. It can be liberating. I say from a child perspective that always tried to please her parents 🫣
I agree. And I love the life I have created without the weight of all that. I also love realizing that I can cut someone off without cutting myself off. 😍
My approach was always to ignore the hard conversations and adjust, but as an older adult I am less willing to do that. It seems the issue just festers inside and never gets resolved.
I hear you. I definitely have that tendency. And age & experience brings all that to light. We can all benefit from being more open & frank with each other. And ourselves.
It’s ok to cut out a family member.

Thank you Karen!!! You are wise beyond your years -- maybe you get that from your Momma!!
Fortunately, I don't have to make any of the hard choices. I am lucky!!
Thank you! I think you are right!
