Every family has a dress code… some are just more honest about it. 😏

www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8bQ7gYx/ #toxicfamily but they insist I must reach out to them when I'm needing someone. 🙄 only to literally shove my ass closer to the edge. Somehow pointing out my flaws and telling me it's my fault is supposed to be tough "love". Tough love kills sensetive people.
A prose poem about maternal emotional abuse. The picture is designed to look like an ancient textbook. It uses the Prometheus punishment myth as a metaphor for the toll of emotional abuse. It features art of Prometheus and the eagle.
Healing from an ✨unhealed mother✨ is perhaps the hardest task I have ever undertaken lol
(TW for mentions of parental alcoholism and gore as a metaphor)

Anyone else the "disappointment" of the family for actually following their dreams? Drop a 🙋♀️ in the comments.

Some kids threaten no contact like it’s a punishment.
Meanwhile the parents are on a beach somewhere realizing…
peace, sunshine, and nobody screaming at them anymore.
Strange how healing works. 🍹

Not everyone’s family is healthy. This is a harsh reality we need to realize to maybe help others and step away when you can. #toxicfamily #help #family

Stop setting the table for people who only bring chaos to the meal.
Family is supposed to be a sanctuary, but for many, it’s a battlefield. 💛

You don’t have to stay in the dark just because someone you love chooses to.
Healing is a crossing.
You can love them.
You can cheer for them.
But you cannot carry them.
Their timing is not yours.
And you do not owe the darkness your return.
— Debra Lee

In 'Why Toxic Family Members ALWAYS Protect Abusers' - the 'No Contact' system demands a sacrifice to keep the peace. That sacrifice is YOU.

She turned her brother's death into a weapon. When a sibling uses a tragedy to rewrite history and attack the living, the grief becomes a battlefield.

DAUGHTER WOUND: The culture calls it "boundaries." We call it erasure.
We are documenting the harm. We are naming the wound.
If this definition names your reality, you are not crazy. You are the target.

family: we need to enable and cater to this crazy person because blood matters
me: yeah, no.
family: you are family, you can't refuse
me: FUCKIN WATCH ME HAHAHAHAHAHA FUCK YOU, CRAZY, ABUSIVE, UNMEDICATED AUNT, SUCK DEEZ NUTS

There is a difference between healing and submission.
You do not recover by returning to the source of your harm.
You recover by refusing to let the wound define the terms of your future.

This is a great reminder! Trust your instincts. #toxicfamily
Our spouses have heard the 'No Contact' wailing and watched us try to fix the unfixable. We stand together—with POWERFUL leverage if needed.

Skipping the family holiday isn’t “selfish”—it might be the healthiest move you make this season 🧠

like 1. salads have cottage cheese in them sometimes and 2. you can also put alfredo in a salad. not to mention there are chicken salads out there,so. so because its something that YOU don't like to eat you had to openly express your disgust. not to mention you had to say ew in 3 different comments. like why 3? why couldn't you just say it once and be done with it? heck why did you have to say ew at all? clearly no one watched Bambi as a child where your taught if you have nothing nice to say, then not to say anything at all. i guarantee if she made food for her and her mom and someone dissed it she would have a hissy fit and say that people were bullying her. and i know that for a fact cause whenever her mom's husband talks bad about food she made or her mom made, her she comes onto Facebook to make a pity post and that her stepdad is mean to her and blah blah blah. so you're allowed to diss other peoples food, but god forbid someone gives you the same treatment. then the whole world is crashing down. hypocrite much? this is why i made my mom make it so she can't see certain posts on Facebook, cause she always does this. the moment she posts a pic of a food she doesn't think is worthy of her palate she has to make sure everyone knows. like not everyone likes the same food as each other, dude. if you didn't like the food just scroll on by. why did you have to be negative? i don't understand why my mom doesn't just cut her off, like i did. my mom won't cut off anyone in the family because she loves them and their still her family. like i think we would be better off if she did. like her sister and her niece(so my cousin) aren't good people. that's why i cut them both out of my life.
When “family time” drains you instead of healing you, skipping the holidays might be the healthiest choice 🎧

This landed in my inbox today from Krissy Loveman, Life Coach. I'm not participating in this bullshit (any more), either! #toxicfamily #enmeshedfamily #enmeshment #guiltbasedcontrol #obligation #familydynamics
Here's the toxic holiday family text exchange for 2025! This year, the action I chose after my initial reply was... SILENCE. I'm happy to report that it's worked well so far! #toxicfamily #enmeshedfamily #enmeshment #guiltbasedcontrol
I plugged last year's toxic holiday family text exchange into ChatGPT (link below for reference). AI's been good to me. I appreciate the validation.

"Signs that you might be a people pleaser You pretend to agree with everyone You act like people around you You don't admit when your feelings are hurt You feel burdened by the things you have to do You go to great lengths to avoid conflict You apologize often You feel responsible for how other people feel You feel uncomfortable if someone is angry at you
You don't have to cross oceans for people who are treating you like you can't even take up the space of a puddle 🧜♀️ You are mighty, your peace is a divine right. Don't let anyone try and take that from you ❣️

After decades of trying to understand my mother’s toxic behavior, I finally hit my limit. Her hateful views turned every civil talk into a shouting match. My siblings say “she could die tomorrow.” I say, she could die today, I’m done. #FamilyDrama #ToxicFamily #MentalHealth #SelfCare #LifeLessons
The Family Garbage Scapegoat child, unclean monster Family sins are pinned upon her In place of love and nurturing She had dark and painful things Tell me how it should have felt All I remember was the belt Why does my face enrage you so? If you don't want me, let me go. A sweet, pure mind, hatefully defiled How dare they make a dumpster out of a child?! J. C. 12.1.24
Today is the 1 year anniversary of this poem.
