Re: Family dysfunction.

[(Anonymous)]

Just because they're blood doesn't mean you have to stay closely connected to them (or at all).

Some folks like to act as if going no contact or even low contact is a totes fancy trend those durn TikTok kids came up with, but people have been doing it for centuries and longer. Because shitty family members and shitty family systems have also existed for that long. And it's not some narcissistic decision people just make for the lulz, it comes after years, maybe even decades of weighing the pros and cons (do you lose ties to the "good" ones?), warring with yourself over your own feelings (I love this person but they refuse to stop hurting me), and navigating judgment from dipshits who call you a bad family member when they either don't know your history or else haven't unpacked their own family damage to even accept your POV. You grieve so much time lost wasted on a relationship that simply never was, but the ones who break free understand that not everything is worth saving, and you only have one life.

Sad to say but not everyone has your best interests at heart, and sometimes that includes family. So do what you need to do, nonny.

IMO it's related to this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_mentality

People stuck in dysfunctional family dynamics often try to make sure that nobody escapes from a shitty situation. If someone attempts it, the shaming and "but faaaaamily!" campaign begins. My family doesn't wish me harm, exactly. But they don't want to rock the boat, and if I stand up and identify out loud who's being an asshole and what they did, that's rocking the boat big time.
