Just a reminder

flyingfloatingfree:

If you have ceased contact with a toxic person, you do not owe anyone an explanation.

Doesn’t matter if they are a family member or close family friend. Doesn’t matter if they are a friend or acquaintance of yours. If you sense the slightest hint that they do not approve of your estrangement and they are not going to be there for you, all you need to say is:

“I don’t feel comfortable discussing it”

People who were emotionally abused have spent far too long defending themselves. Justifying their own feelings. Trying to make others see and understand what they went through.

You don’t have to do this anymore.
