As with most environments in which we normally spend a lot of time such as; work, school, college, course, among others, and we have to deal with people, there is always someone who goes beyond that limit of just being an annoying person and becomes toxic. If in these environments it is already difficult to deal with someone like that, imagine when the toxic person is a father, mother, brother or partner.
How will we survive this chaos?
It is very difficult to believe that the person we love, trust or who is there to protect us simply makes us seem like nothing, belittles us and manipulates us, discrediting our capabilities.
Toxic people exist everywhere and dealing with them is a real challenge but it is easier to cut ties when that person is not part of your family, with a family member it is extremely difficult in every way, how to identify the toxic person in the relationship, in the family background? How to talk and try to make things okay between everyone?
This dialogue and solution is basically impossible, the family takes advantage of our attachment, affection, respect and love to make it seem like we are wrong and they are right, they make us believe that we are the problem and that we are ungrateful for everything they have done for us.
No one wants to be a problem or ungrateful and that’s why we can’t get out of these abuses, we put up with everything to avoid losing or moving away from that failed relationship that has no solution and we are and end up becoming the victims of it, creating a false hope of change. Believe me, the only hope for change is for you to get out of this story, only you can save yourself, discovering this toxic relationship in the family is a start because many people cannot see it.
Be your savior, no fights, no arguments, just walk away. I know it’s very difficult to leave the one we love even more when it’s a father, a mother or that love that we think is for life, but the time has come for you to decide between yourself or the other, always choose . You already know their level of toxicity and what they use to emotionally blackmail you, so don’t get carried away, raise your head and slowly walk away until the moment comes when you can cut that bond.
Believe me, without or with you their life will continue, don’t feel guilty about saving yourself, no one deserves to be afraid to live a life in peace and with dignity. You will discover yourself a totally different person than you were before, taking care of yourself can also be called self-love, be your safe haven, your love until you find a trustworthy person with whom you can share your life again.
There will always be a new path for anyone willing to follow
