“Scorned by a Grateful Family: The Shocking Ultimatum That Could Cancel Christmas Forever!”
When your pleas fall on deaf ears, it may be time to cut ties with abusive family members
Despite the long-term abuse she endured from her family, the author remains uncertain about whether or not she should maintain a relationship with them. She’s already stated her case, yet she remains to be ignored.
According to licensed therapist Dr. Claire Jack, these are clear signs that she should cut contact with her abusive relatives.
“These people are never going to see your point of view or admit any of their shortfalls,” Dr. Jack wrote in an article for Psychology Today.
Based on her story, the author doesn’t seem to be gaining anything positive from her relationship with her family. In such cases, Dr. Jack advises weighing the pros and cons; if the latter bears more weight, it may be time to go without contact.
“You have a right to lead a happy life and to distance yourself from people—no matter who they are—who act in an abusive manner towards you,” she says.
At this point, it may be healthier for the woman to keep her distance from everyone. She has done more than enough to show them her love and care. It won’t be easy because it still involves family, but it may be for the best.
