I grew up and I don't communicate with a lot of people in my family. I told my family and no one did anything. they thought I was not telling the truth . When I was old enough to leave I did.Ive never looked back. I've learned that they are people full of issues. I am far better off.

I got out of the situation, but I haven't spoken to anyone on that entire side of my family.
My only sibling, an older brother divorced the family over 35 years ago. Upon the death of both parents- it was obvious I wasn't in his plans for HIS family- so I divorced him and any family left- as adviced by my therapist. It WORKED!

Getting divorced was the best thing that ever happened. He is completely gone.
I did leave and disown the family for over a year, which was hard to begin with but somewhat peaceful afterwards.
