Had to cut off all ties to narcissist dad and stepmom several years ago. I have very limited contact with brother for same reason. It’s been painful but also freeing. I have my own little family and decided this year to start reaching out to my extended family for better connections with them. My girlfriends are my family.
I only want to be around positive, supportive, loving people in my life. I was given an unhealthy set of parents, but I don’t have to be unhealthy. I have a choice and know the opposite of addiction is connection. Thank God I escaped a toxic environment and found recovery.
