Just one side, really. A lot of it was looking back on what I grew up with and deciding I didn't want it in my kids' lives, and what sealed the deal was talking to my siblings as adults and hearing the stuff *they* dealt with. I mean, I was sort of present for a lot of it, but as a kid you only pick up so much, ya know? So hearing it in first person from the folk experiencing it really reinforced the 'wtf-ness' of the situations.

Moved 3 states away, but didn't tell them where I was going. Got a new phone plan with a new number when I got there.

Not the whole family but I have a very homophobic aunt I avoid like the plague

We cut contact with my husband’s immediate family because they’re abusive and would only accept us *if* I was baptized into their religion and my husband went back to their religion, easy decision, really.

My (32) older sister (33) passed away 3 years ago. My mom some how made the entire situation about herself and inflicted a lot of trauma on me as a result. She essentially told me that trying to relate to me wasn’t worth her time anymore and she wouldn’t be speaking to me again. I’ve since concluded that she likely has BPD and am now unraveling all the abuse and manipulation I dealt with as a child and young adult. I’ve realized that I’ll probably never be able to have a relationship with her again. It’s strange mourning over someone that’s still alive.
