Last night, was the most dramatised moments in my life. This event took place when the worst thing in the family could happened took place all over again. My mind was too alert that I couldn't sleep the whole night. Why this event keep taking place in the family? Is it a curse, or the people who exist in the family itself? My heart was wrenching with aches and pains and the best decision is to cut these people out from my life forever. Whenever these specific people do not pleasant in the family for a moment, everything just seems peaceful and nice. But whenever this person exist too long in the family, they started become sour, hurtful and the cause other people's pain. The inner peace is broken real badly by these toxic people,borned not because of your own choice. I have to just put a stop to this. Griefing heart

it is really hard to make tough decisions especially if it involves family. but if a certain person makes your life miserable then you do what you got to do. But time heals all wounds. You and your family member may feel hurt now but eventually, things between you will get better and you'll get to understand each other. So dont say you'll cut them off forever, just for the meantime.

well, if you look at it a different way you can say you always have control over your attitude towards people. If a person is toxic to you, chances are they are not happy people. They need help just like every one does sometimes. So maybe you can do something about that. Maybe you can make them less toxic by helping them out. But sometimes you just can't do anything because those people have too many problems that they have to solve on their own. In that case you might be right, you have to get them out of your life. I had to do this to some people in my life as well. They just would not change for the better and they always brought everyone down with their negativity. So I can understand how you feel. Things will get better, just put your self among the people you love.

hi, What you said if true. I have to agree with the part where "avoid", "prevent", "get away" from negative people.

OK under THink. It doesn't matter what everyone else does. It's what you do that counts. Why do you Choose to allow the actions of others bother you?? In the midst of turmoil there is peace, love, and happiness if you choose that. Furthermore, your choice will influence those around you. Might even fix the problem. If not point them in the right direction often. It takes time but people do change.

Hi Jacklintan Sorry to hear my dear that some family members are causing havoc. Unfortunate but sometimes we just have no choice but to put the distance, between us and them. It is always my thoughts that when we circle ourselves with negativity it tends to bring us down. There is only so much the human mind can take. This I know, I too have lived it and as much as I would like for things to be different sometimes they are not and leaves us with no choice. Maybe someday they will realize your value and change some of their ways. Though I have yet to see it in some family members myself. There are some who really thrive on havoc and no matter what you do and or say they will not listen to reasoning, so does no good to join in on what they think is fun, therefore breaks and distance sometimes are a must. Start to heal your own heart and hope they too can at some point heal their own.

There are people who only knows how to ruin relationships. Much as we don't want to be bothered by them, when they do something wrong to the family ,you cannot help being truly affected by them. Maybe it's time to step in and say your piece to the family about this, so they could be stopped from further ruining the family. If two or more people are to be blocked from the family in order to put a stop to the discord , then so be it. It is better to block two or 3 , as long as the majority can have peace and quiet in the family. It's time that you make a stop to this, and never be bothered again.

I have learned from my family it is best to create your own space and keep a distance. Some people are just unhealthy and trive on drama. It is good you see things for what they are. Just remember this doe not reflect who you are and does not have to define who you are. You have choices. You can decided what you want for your life and who you want in it.
