Sometimes family relationships can be more harmful than helpful. Have you had to distance yourself or set limits with a family member? How did you handle it emotionally?

For me It was one of the hardest things I’ve done, but cutting ties with my sister gave me peace I didn’t know I needed.

Yes, I've currently distancing myself from certain family members. I keep giving them chance after chance only to see they won't change or take accountability for anything. They have no respect for me and always treat me like an option, never a priority. I got tired of being treated like chopped liver or used, manipulated, etc. Got tired of the selfishness. I finally decided for the last time that it was time to protect my peace and guard my heart.
