I am at peace today, having struggled to sleep last night. I have realised that I am in an abusive relationship with some family members (with me as victim) and it's time to withdraw until I am treated with due respect and loving care. If that means we don't communicate, so be it. I am worth the inner calm.
I deeply relate to this.
My husband and I decided to create our own family because the “family” we were born into felt awful. Its both sad and liberating.
