Cutting a family out of your world does not make you a bad person.
It makes you self-aware.
It makes you strong enough to do the right thing.

1.No one has permission to treat you like crap.
Not even the people who raised you.
2.You cannot let the guilt get to you.
You will always wish things turned out differently.
But that does not mean you made the wrong decision.
It does not mean you should reach out to them again.
3.It is possible to love someone and want nothing to do with them at the same time.
4.A lot of people are not going to understand your decision.
They are going to encourage you to reconnect.
They do not have a right to judge you.
5.Even thoughyouwere the one who decided to walk away,theyare the reason the relationship crumbled.
They hurt you and hurt you until you had no other choice.
6.You cannot change your family member.
You are not in charge of their actions.
You are only in charge of yourownactions.
7.Sometimes, the people who share your DNA are the ones who will treat you the worst.
But that is okay, because it’s possible for you to create your own family.
A family youchoose, not a family that was forced upon you.
8.You never deserved to be hurt by them.
You did nothing wrong.
9.When you cut one person out of your world, you create a chain reaction.
10.Doing what is best for yourself is not selfish.
You are not obligated to keep them around if they are causing you pain.
You are allowed to leave them in your past.
12.Cutting a family out of your world does not make you a bad person.
It makes you self-aware.
It makes you strong enough to do the right thing.
13.Even though walking away is best for you, it is going to hurt like hell.
14.You are going to get through this.
You are going to feel better soon.
15.Family members do not get a free pass to mistreat you.
16.Stop telling yourselfthey would have changed if they loved you enough.That is a dangerous way to think.
Their shitty behavior has nothing to do with you.
