I Want to Leave the Past Behind

I have a bad past I think it affects me until now after I graduate from my desired course Im planning to leave my toxic family that purely degrades my potential capability. I have some friends but they all betrayed me everything here now seems to be like a shallow and fake relationship I am planning to leave this country and my family what would it feel if I leave everything??? ,never return, change myself, forget my former self, delete my history and renew everything without looking at the back

any advice??? cuz I'm leaving in the near future

Cutting ties with everything can be hard. We all have things from the past we want to leave behind. If you are determined to leave. Take it in stages. Start by moving out and being more independent. Maybe by not living with your parents your relationship will improve with them. Then after awhile, if you still want to go further, move to another city. I know what betrayal feels like, I know what pain is. But don't burn every bridge behind you. No reason to have hate as you leave.
No, I never see my mother.face to face and my father died. No regrets... I call every once in awhile. But she can still be cold and judgemental even during phone calls. I got married and had kids, I'm happy and better off without them. Plus I have my own family. Even though I'm divorced now. I'm healthy, happy and strong. I don't think I ever want to see my mother again. Because people never change.

People may not completely change, but we grow and evolve in our thinking and actions. At one point in your life you loved your parents. I hate to see people give up on others completely without trying to change circumstances. I know my dad has lived with the regret of never reconciling with my Gpa before Gpa died. Don't make the wall you build in stone. If you need to leave, then leave. But put the hate behind you as well.
Greg, I have cut ties with a lot of people for years once I was healthy and strong I slowly let some of those people in, but now because I'm older and my boundaries are stronger. They can't f@#$% with me like they use to. Don't feel guilty just do it. Buy call every once in a while anyway. A toxic parent is better than no patent.
Don't ever let anyone eat away at your soul or suck the life out of you. Your lucky to realize that at such young age.

I've felt the same thing in the past. Parents are parents. They always think they know best for us. We probably will think we know what's best for our kids if we have them too. Nobody's perfect. God knows I'm not anywhere close. Just don't slam the door shut where it can never be reopened. Maybe someday there can be reconciliation.
