I read a book about cutting ties to toxic people. I wrote a list and included my parents. Absolute night and day on my mental health and my professional health.
I didn't "cut them" like full on ghosting. But keeping my distance and chatting with them once a year.
I'm rooting for your success.
Thank you :). I'm living in an emergency shelter, so I appreciate all the support.
