[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe what you do to your family will come back in spades to you. Meaning I understand bad family dynamics (married into one). However boundaries are very important and can make these relationships ok. On the other hand, if you model to your kids that cutting off blood is fine then you can't be shocked if it happens to you one day too.[/quote]

Didn't take very long for a jerk to show up.  Which one of your relatives cut you off?[/quote]

None.[/quote]

Hmm, just curious what kinds of boundaries I should set with my father who sexually abused me most of my childhood? Should we still have lovely conversations on the phone about how he called me a liar after I told the truth?[/quote]

Sexual assault was not brought up by any other posters. That is a whole other issue in which it is appropriate to no longer have contact with family. Simply cutting someone off because you have trouble setting appropriate boundaries is a different issue.[/quote]

Classic victim blaming. You can't set boundaries with narcissists. [/quote]
