@5d36f9b1 best thing I ever did for my family relationship was cut them all off for a few years. I just did not have the time or energy to be constantly gaslit about things. When the channels finally opened up again, it was on my terms and that was made pretty clear and it has been a really healthy relationship ever since. It may have been pure luck but I would've cut them off anyway, had no expectation of things ever being better.
@e27ba0e1 i did the same and upon reopening some channels it was enlighten to see where the majority of my trauma came from. Sadly i’m not sure it has gotten any better and I’m trying to decide what to do next. Just more lies, gaslighting, narc control bs. I don’t have the time and nrg to deal w this bs, but hard to pretend it doesn’t affect me. If you don’t mind me asking - how did you managed to salvage them on ur terms?
