More than one person has done this, yet I have taken back everyone. I feel awful.
This is how my relationship with my mother went down. I was 42 years old in 2009 and I divorced my mother for good. And I look back now on it? It was the best decision I had ever made. And since my other family members took her side, I divorced them too. I got to the point where enough was enough, already. While I am free from them, it isn't easy not having a family but since I was considered "the black sheep" of my family, I never really had one to begin with. But I have myself and my dignity now. Removing toxic people from your life for good is an exercise in self-respect and love.
