Unfortunately, some family relationships can be complicated. Many people have had to set serious boundaries with certain family members — and even cut off their entire relationship with them due to an ongoing unhealthy dynamic.
So, if you've had to finally cut off a family member, what was the moment you knew it was time?
Maybe you had a super-controlling or narcissistic in-law who was pulling you and your spouse apart, so you decided to cut off all communication with them to save your marriage.
Perhaps you had a REALLY toxic or jealous sibling who tried to get your S.O. to cheat on you with them — and after you found out, you never spoke to them again.
Maybe you had a parent who was never really present in your life, and you actually felt relieved when you stopped trying to establish a relationship with them.
Or perhaps you've had cousins or other extended family members who weren't trustworthy — and maybe even stole something from you — and you knew it was time to set a hard boundary.
