Dealing with toxic PARENTS

But even with you not having that say so, people will kind of look down at you or feel some type of way about you if you do not have a good relationship with your parents. And for me, I feel like I know I made mistakes as a young parent, because this is something that I hear from my mom, is young. Young. Yeah, I know that. I know I didn't do everything right

Like, I cannot do this. It took me so, so long. But people will to this day say, but that's your family. Family is everything. Family is important. Family didn't make me important. Family hurt me. Family turned their backs on me. Family abused me. So I agree with everything you say in here, and I am so glad that you put it out there

Even to this day, she won't admit whatever it was, whether it was a one night stand rate, whatever the case may be, she still will not give me the real information, which makes me so bothered. But aside from that, I just don't see anybody who sets out to not like their family. Nobody is wanting to not be you know how many times I see people, Jay?

I also have high anxiety and panic attacks. So all related. But I'm like, you know, how much do you take? How much is enough? How much is enough? That's one of my things that I posted on Swell was something about forgiveness and what is the line? When do you cut off? It took a lot for me. It's been a lot. But I'm glad. I'm actually glad

And she's not willing to. So it's like, okay, well, I have to move forward now. But I would have been willing to mended if she was willing to do the work and she wasn't. And so I left it at what it is. But anyway, I say all this to say, how do you handle that with your kids? Do you wash your hands and let them continue to grow?
