There’s been a
concept haunting me a lot lately, and that is that family is family and blood
is sacred. I've cut ties with many of my family members due to them being poisonous
and bad people. I get a lot of crap for it from my other family members though,
warning me that it’s toxic and unhealthy to cut family out of your life. But I
beg to differ, for me personally, cutting these certain people out of my life
has made me a better person and saved me a lot of hurt and stress.
I
don’t think that anyone has the right to tell you who you should and shouldn’t
keep in your life. Blood is not a binding factor and no one should have to deal
with any kind of emotional, physical or mental abuse and have it justified
because that person shares DNA with them. If someone is not being a healthy
influence in your life, don’t let them be a part of it. It may not be easy, but
the outcome will be worth it and that negative person will no longer be able to
feed off the negativity from the pain they caused you.
It’s
true that you cannot choose your family, but you can choose who you let into
your life, and if people want to make you feel guilty about it, then that’s
their issue. Removing poisonous people from your life is no one else’s choice
but your own.
