Is it okay to distance yourself from your parents if you feel as if you're in a toxic relationship with them?

Keeping your distance from someone whom you're in a toxic relation with is a great step towards healing; even if that someone is one or both your parents. It might be complicated to keep your distance if you live in the same house as them, but I'm sure there's a solution you can work on with someone. Distancing yourself from your parents might seem to make things worse at first, but with time, each person will become aware of his/her own toxic behaviors and things will get better. So yes, it is okay to distance yourself from your parents if you're in a toxic relationship with them.

I feel like it's perfectly fine. stressing yourself out is just as toxic as an environment like that.

Yes but I'd suggest you speak with a licenced therapist to work through issues you may be experiencing with your parents.

Yes! Distance doesn't mean no relationship. It just means that you need to keep space from negativity. Alway, always, distance yourself from toxic people. No one needs negativity in their life. Distance can save a relationship, were staying in the bad relationship can ruin everything.

Of course. Being related to someone does not mean that you are obligated to maintain a relationship. If the relationship is toxic, then cutting them out may be the only option to ensure your wellbeing

I believe so yes, I grew up with drug adictied parents I suffered severe emotional and physical abuse, I put up with it for years I even supported them financially at one point. It wasn't till I had my baby that I realized I will not let her go though what I went though, I let them make a choice go to rehab or be with me and my child. they made their choice and now I'm living a way from them and as much as I miss them my life has gotten so much better. it's a hard choice to make but it is yours to make.

Yes I think it is important for your own mental and physical wellbeing to distance yourself from toxic relationships be they with parents, family or friends.

Yes, absolutely. Family is important but at times, it is family who will bring you down. As you are in that situation, it is healthy for your own wellbeing to be distant from them and for the most drastic measure, to completely cut ties with them. However, in order to do so, you have to ensure that you're financially independent of them as you don't want to find yourself homeless somewhere. Remember that your mental and physical wellbeing is very important and therefore, don't let anyone damage that. Stay strong and I hope everything works out for you. Take care

Personally, it depends. If they care and have the best intentions for you, then maybe you guys can work it out and it could be worth a shot. If your parents are not understanding at all and have the opposite of what you have planned for your life, then absolutely. You should give your parents a chance, but when you are legally old enough to move out you should feel free to do whatever is best for you. Your mental and physical health is more important than that relationship, but that relationship is still pretty important. If they are still pretty toxic up until you are legally allowed to leave, then you should be free to leave and take care of yourself. If you tried to fix that relationship and it didn't work out, move on.
