Love your family

No matter what. Stick to your family. Their your roots.

Even when they (knowingly) disrespect you and your boundaries? Shun you and label you an embarrassment because of your mental illness? 🤔 When they make it a point to make you feel left out and unwanted and like "you didn't come out right"?

@JupiterDreams I'm in a similar situation as you state in your comment. I have cut them off. No more verbal abuse, belittling, insults and a refusal to listen on their part.

If your roots are poisoning you, the only way to survive is to cut off the broken ones and focus on the good ones you grew later in life.

theAlchemist · 56-60, M

@NerdyPotato Yes, very much so. My roots are those I have chosen and created, not that which was imposed upon me.

The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

The bonds we make by choice are often more important than those that share our DNA.

Family doesn’t get to have loyalty, love etc without meeting standards of respect etc If you’d cut someone out that wasn’t “family” for doing xyz then those blood relatives should be held to the same expectation if not higher.

@Mrsbetweenfatandfit Very much agree.

No. They are enemies and strangers. They are poisonous and toxic.
