How to remove toxic family members from your life.

We all know that toxicity is something that eats away and decays our mental wellbeing. We see toxicity everywhere in society, from friendships to neighbors and even ourselves. Moreso, we get a heaping dose of toxicity directly from our own family. Over 70% of traumatic childhood events happen in the home at the hands of a direct family member. So, what happens when we grow up and those same family members are still in our lives? The short answer is that we have to remove them. The long answer is that we have to make a decision as to what we need. We MUST put our wants, needs, and interests before society’s dogma of family over everything. The harsh truth is that often our family is the very thing keeping us from healing. Family can also be the catalyst for our healing journey. As you can tell, this is quite the juxtaposition.
