[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with you that they sound toxic. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree though. You too are part of the toxicity; you have to be. If you want it to change, [b]remove yourself, heal, set boundaries, then re-engage in a drama free sort of way.

And your story is incomplete, confusing, and accusatory.  This tells me that you are trying to paint a certain picture, but are leaving out your part in the drama. You are hurt. I get that. You probably did some hurting to your family too.[/quote]

It’s entirely possible that I’m toxic and something I continually explore and try to investigate and improve upon through therapy, among other things. In terms of the bolded, I’m the one who was removed and I’m in search of healing. Four years later and I’m still devastated and struggling to come to terms with being cut off. It makes me want to retreat from the rest of the family, which I realize isn’t fair or rational; it’s just my instinct. Easter has surfaced a lot of these feelings anew. [/quote]
