Tuesday Teachings
In toxic family dynamics you are trained to believe that for the family to be happy, it is up to you to make it that way. You are manipulated to believe that the moods of other people are yours to manage. You are trained to believe that the only way for you to be happy is for you to make them happy.
These family members certainly won’t take any accountability when you start stepping away from them because they never took any responsibility for the relationship in the first place. That was your job.
You can fire yourself from that job immediately. There is no way to have a healthy relationship with an emotionally manipulative person. No one else should have to be the center of your universe before you get a turn to focus on your own happiness.
