This! Sometimes you have to step away to protect yourself.

This is exactly how I know who my friends were/are. When I said something about my mom, they got it.

To underscore-- *That's* the whole fuckin point. No one in your sphere is the ::would walk tf away from their raised in family FOR NO REASON:: kinda human being. So you know all ya need to know about their situ. Why do anything other than support what they've chosen as best for their life, 'friend'?

Somebody tried to tell me that. When I got done telling them why I will never ever allow that shit in my life, they were shocked to silence. Haven't seen any of my family for 20 years, and my husband never met them. Best decision I ever made!

I so totally agree with you. Separating from my toxic family was the best thing I ever did for myself. The hardest part was dealing with all of the know-it-alls who kept telling me family means everything. I would say fine, you deal with them.

The best times in my life were when I kept away from my family. Now there’s only two left alive and I couldn’t even tell you where they live. Hallelujah and there’s no imaginary scenario that would convince me to let these dangerous individuals back in my life. My kids have never even met my sister.

This is an important message on two levels. First, we have no idea what someone has experienced and need to trust they have made the sane decision. Second important point, we need to wean ourselves off of offering unsolicited advice on all subjects. If no one asked, dont feel compelled to offer

Thank you.

A month or so ago, when I was venting about having an argument with my parents, someone tried to pull that 'family is important' shit with me and it pissed me off. My relationship w/ my parents has always been challenging, that was not what I needed to hear at that moment.

I have a complicated relationship with my mom. When I went away to college, I realized how much less stressed I felt. I moved far away after. Later, when she kept asking questions on a topic I said was off limits, I hung up each time. Finally she got the msg. I hated when folks said “Call her.” No.

I don't interact with any of my immediate family. Sometimes, it is all about self preservation.

If someone tells you they don't have a relationship with their family, shut the fuck up with the "You should reconcile with them" or "Family are the most important people in your life, you should mend fences", etc. Just shut the fuck up with that shit. You don't know that person's family history.

I'm just saying, smart people don't stare at the sun. Rich people don't ask for payment extensions. Untouchable people don't have to put up bonds to appeal judgments, or have mugshots, or even go to trial. Winners don't have to lie to convince ppl they won.

When I was online earlier, the TV was off & I hadn't checked any other SNS sites. I missed the whole Taiwan earthquake. My best friend and her husband live in Taichung. I haven't been able to contact them. I can only hope they were on campus when the quake struck. There is horrifying footage on T.

things to me and offering me a lily plant were the sweetest thing in the world and I was so pleased to have been met with such random kindness today.
Sooooo, don’t get overwhelmed with the negativity.
There are beautiful people out there and one of them just shed her light on me!
Peace
