[quote=Anonymous]I'm a DH that finally had enough of his toxic family to cut ties!

When my DW and I started dating I explained to her the broken relationship that I had with my parents. I wasn't talking to them, but I was still talking to my siblings. My DW urged me to give it another go, which I did against my better judgment!

During the time that I started speaking to my parents again, one of my siblings would inquire about things and share it with my parents. My mother would email my DW about anything that she discovered thru my siblings and complain that it was her (DW's) fault. Obviously, she was complaining to my wife that my decisions were her (DW's) fault. I supported my wife in every incident and decided it was time to stop communicating with everyone on my side of the family.

One of my siblings was going thru a separation that led to a messy divorce. I was called upon to help, as there were children involved. Once again, I sucked it up and played along.... against my better judgment!

My mother sent a vile and vicious email to my wife, apparently while she was drunk. The accusations were not only absurd, but down right mean meant to be divisive. I wasn't in the mood for any more BS, so I decided to cut off ties ~ yet AGAIN!

We ended up on better terms once again and, low and behold, my mother put the kibosh on being honest, but this time she involved our children. Once she lied to our children it was all over!

It has been several years of literally no communications between us. I can tell you that I am free of guilt, as I did my best on several occasions to reconcile, even after being wronged on so many levels. I feel liberated of the negative and toxic burden that I had poisoning me my entire life!

You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your relatives. Tell your DH that it's time to take out the trash! [/quote]
