- Don’t attempt to fix your family, focus on yourself
- Focus on your individual relationships, you won’t fix theirs
- Distance yourself at first, then fix in only two ways. Rebuild the relationship, or bye-bye.
- Remember: Being your relatives doesn’t give them a license to be assholes
- There is nothing wrong in renouncing a toxic or abusive family
— GeorgeAlonso.com (Transcending Anxiety with George Alonso. “Anxiety symptoms must be along the top 5 searches in Google. And it makes sense. We are currently living an alarming pandemic of depression…And make no mistake: Anxiety will only get worse with time.”)
Apparently, children who grow up in dysfunctional families are at risk of developing mental illness, which can result in long-term health issues, such as depression and anxiety. For me, healing has been a two pronged approach (in order to achieve my goal of having a healthy relationship); address past trauma and learn new relationship/communication skills. It’s hard work, but it’s worth it. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
Blessings,
