[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all need better therapists.[/quote]

Wow, so helpful. Must be easy to live in a glass house... oh wait.[/quote]

I don't live in a glass house. Unfortunately I am intimately aware of the subject. I think it's wrong to have threads like these dominated by posters who insist estrangement is the only way. There are other ways to handle toxic relationships besides estrangement. It is possible. It is preferable. OP and anyone else contemplating the issue deserves to hear all sides. And no, that does not mean anyone who does not choose estrangement had it easier than those who did.[/quote]

I don't think I have seen any posts where people jumped to estrangement. It sounds like it took most posters many years to get there and many tried therapy and all sorts of strategies. It sounds like they tried the "other ways to handle toxic relationships." Why do you think people should stay in toxic relationships after trying for so many years to have some form of relationship? This sounds like a very sensitive topic for you. You have no way of knowing how hard people had it who chose estrangement. You are welcome to share your side and your experience, but you seem to be making broad statements. You imply if we chose estrangement in the end we "need better therapists." and you posted the choice would be regretted. Maybe stick to your own experience. Perhaps you chose it and regretted it or you chose to stay and feel relieved. We are simply sharing our experiences, not broad generalizations.[/quote]
