[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm with you.  Life is too short to have nasty, toxic, selfish people in our lives.  Sometimes you make allowances based on the person or circumstances, but other times you need to let go.  I've felt so much lighter and freer since removing a toxic family member from my life.  I was her punching bag. Now I have much more positive energy for my life, friends, family, and community. [/quote]

I had to do this for my brother. Parents kept telling me to "give him the benefit of the doubt," but I've done that enough, for too long. I won the lottery with most of my awesome family members. But sometimes for your own sake, you have to cut out (or minimize) those harmful and toxic to you. Letting my brother go brought me so much relief.

+1000 I could have written the above, word for word, in a fugue state.  Having let go of my brother has freed me to stop trying to "fix" the relationship with my parents also.  It is what it is.  It also makes me appreciate good relationships so much more.[/quote]
