Can you truly turn away from family when you really need to?

You can truly turn away from family when you really need to by telling them that. First, tell a close, trusted friend, so that they can help you do it. Otherwise, without help, it will be quiet difficult.

Yes. If they are making you unhappy then the best thing you can do is try to keep yourself happy and try not to let anyone bring you down.

It all depends on the situation. Sometimes, whether it is family or not, some circumstances/actions are unforgivable. While others, are forgivable. But it all depends on you, if you believe it is something that can be worked on or if situations that have happened that will make you turn from your family.

Family is always there no matter what. And when they come back it's not so easy just to turn away from them. However you can truly be strong enough to stand up to your family when you need to. To be able to not allow them to hurt you if they were. And with this new found confidence and strength can be a healing process for another, you just never know :)

When an environment because too toxic for mental, emotional, or physical reasons it is always best to remove yourself from the situation. No matter who may be involved

You can explain to them why you are doing so and then decide to do so. There are people who burn bridges when it comes to family and friends when they think its the right thing to do. Others just give themselves some space to breath.

Absolutely. If they are no serving your best interests, or have become the source of pain, strife, I'll will, or negatively impacting your life, it's certainly a reasonable option, even if temporarily while working through the issue at hand

I want to say yes, but also no. My family life is hard right now myself and as much as I want to walk away I find myself stuck.

I am personally going through this right now. I stopped talking to my dad; I don't call him, text him, let alone speak to him in person. I won't go into detail about what happened between him and I, but he persists in speaking to me when I don't respond. I turned away from him despite the fact that he is my provider; I left the house without speaking to anyone or telling anyone where I was going, I would come back at late hours of the night or even morning. I just wasn't comfortable at one point. Although I am a bit less uncomfortable and more numb to the situation, I speak to my mom, but even that seems to be getting increasingly worse. One thing that helps me in this time is affirming myself that I am still safe, I am still happy, and I am still at peace with myself. I also don't think about the future or long-term because I know that will initiate unnecessary anxiety for me. Thus, there are ways you can turn away from family when you really need to; you just need to find the loopholes and how to make it work.
