[quote=Anonymous]Yes, it was unplanned, but we did pack up and leave a family vacation (and all but cut ties with the offending family member) after a”last straw” of mean behavior. But I understand why OP is considering a vacation with toxic family members. It wasn’t until my mid-40s, after our experience, that I realized how much my siblings and I had been manipulated to believe that it was our job to tolerate the toxic family member and view the bad behavior as “normal.” And that we had been taught that setting reasonable boundaries was not acceptable. So I get why people twist themselves into pretzels to try to visit and appease these types of family members while trying to protect themselves.[/quote]
