Can you repair an estranged relationship with toxic family members?

[Anonymous]

My family is extremely toxic and I've encouraged them to get therapy. They're verbal , emotional, and psychological abusive. It's to the point, I don't want anything to do with my family because I know their not changing. There abuse is causing great stress on me and a toll on my psychical health. My partner and I agreed that my family will not be included in our lives and sadly my family is about to lose access to visitation with my children.

Suggestions and clarity is needed !

No I don't plan on repairing this relationship with my family as they've caused to much abuse in my life and now I want to cut them off for good. The amount of abuse they have inflicted is something that I can't forgive them of. I want my family to understand once I cut them off there's no communication/ rekindling that will occur between them and I. Every therapist, I've talked too has encouraged me to cut my family off.

Yeah. I too had a very abusive family. I have therefore moved out, live alone and put a great distance between me and them silently. They don't know where i am. I am safe. I'm not looking back. It's for my health.

Agreed o think this is ny situation soon - some families are too toxic beyond repair

Indeed. It's for the best.

Meanwhile i am looking for love and nice Ladies. Most women will inevitably ask about my family. Will they understand or will they judge?

[Asker]

I would minimize conversations about family at all costs

[Opinion Owner]

I agree

[Asker]

I don't tell my girlfriend much about my family.. that part is hidden

[Opinion Owner]

Fair deal. I reckon an understanding girl will understand and not judge.

[Asker]

Yes, don't include your family in this - keep them out or they'll destroy your relationship. I don't tell my girlfriend about my family

[Opinion Owner]

I don't plan to involve my toxic family. These idiots only know how to judge, insult and assault.

[Asker]

Yeah, keep your family out of your business. I do.. I refuse to bring any partner around my mate

[Opinion Owner]

I hear you. Isn't that what i told you? 😁😁😁

[Asker]

Yeah but reassurance honey

[Asker]

It sucks but we think family will change good luck 👍

[Opinion Owner]

Pah! I wouldn't count on it. 😏

[In_Trance]

Yes you can

[Asker]

Not my family there too far gone my next step is a restraining order on them

[In_Trance]

SMFH... then why did you ask the question?

[Asker]

I'm asking for anyone who has experience with this? - I don't need anyone taking sides with my family.. exclusively if you dont understand the problem / this didn't start today with my family it's been going on and not changing.

[Asker]

Why do people respond with no experience to the situation.
