Please don't flame me. I'm not in a good place right now and I'm only posting here because I have absolutely nobody to talk to in real life.
The referendum has been the death knell for my relationship with my family and I'm really struggling to process the mess. I'm struggling to grasp how they could choose to vote out for irrational reasons knowing full well that my children and I would be directly negatively affected by that (currently living outside the UK). But more than that has been the brutal and callous way they have been with me since the result. This has led to me cutting all contact.
To be honest, it's not out of the blue. There's a lifetime of dealing with the cruel and bullying environment they thrive on. Many times I've walked away before but then been sucked back in. This time it feels very different. It feels final. Maybe because now there's huge geographical distances too which makes it easier.
I don't really understand why I'm so upset. They're not nice people, they've never been nice people, they've hurt me immensely over the years and I feel relieved to finally have made the break. But I haven't slept since and can't stop crying.
