What do you do when you have family talking bad about you while living in the same household?

Find a way to move out or live with it…

Living with it do you just ignore it or do you confront them?

[Guy13]

I had to live with it but i worked a lot and that kind of thing. No one changes... at least my experience. In fact, when I reacted it made them happy to get the attention. I felt stuck until I got a roommate and a place.. living at home during school took about 9 months... then over it.

You’re right and this is great advice. I guess I need to work harder and simply move out and away from them

[Guy13]

Yep and they are going to be quite lonely without having something to needle pick... EXCEPT each other ;-)

[Asker]

Absolutely

Get out. And cut them out.

Wouldn’t that be toxic to not talk to my mom or siblings?

No more toxic than their behaviour around you.
One of the few true choices we have is to decide who we include in our lives.
It may be that you love you family, include them in your life, and tolerate their degrading behaviour. That's your choice.
Or you can focus on yourself, cut out the negative elements, and find your own family to live and be happy with. That's also your choice.
You get to decide what best fits you and it doesn't have to be all or nothing anyway because your view will change over time. Perhaps reduce the impact now, embrace them later. Up to you.
