Relationship stress

Kylie00 January 21st

I have a toxic relationship with my childhood relatives, i was raised by my relative who is abusive always calling me names and trying to belittle me and then my father who i wasnt raised by just supports them. I dont associate with them now but i feel like no matter what i did before they always ending up entering into my life and ruining my circle of relationships. Ive tried speaking to a phyciatrist and a therapist and I feel very unsupported, they said they have mental health isssues. Looking for some support on how to move on or fix situations to feel at peace

How do they show up and ruin things.... do you let them back into your life?   live in a small town where you cannot avoid them? 

some people think they are forced to stay in contact with people because they are relatives... you do not.    i had to cut toxic family out and in process that sometimes means people who are not toxic but could not be in contact and not seem to share with the toxic ones.   It is sometimes lonely when new friends ask about your family but it is worth the peace.
