Has anyone gone NC with family ?

I think I need to go NC with some of my family.
There’s been a toxic dynamic for sometime now. I dont think we are good for each other.
Everything seems to blow up but there’s a lot of stirring going on between each family member.
I think the only answer is to go NC.
Has anyone else for reasons of having your own peace.

Yes. They stole white goods they were storing for me, then sided with my rapist when I went to the police. The rest of my family never bothered to even call me during Covid to see if I was ok.
none of them give a shit about me

parents asked me to be power of attorney for them. No way.

DH and I have been NC with his parents since 2004. FIL passed away a while ago now, MIL is still around living a few villages away, but we haven't even seen her in passing. DH has never once regretted it and life is not only easier for him, but a lot nicer too. I won't go into to very long story of what happened or I'd be writing pages, but no regrets here.

Yes I have in 2003 and never regretted it. I refuse to have toxic or nasty people in my life family or not.

Yes, no regress apart from wishing I'd have done it years ago.

Yes I went nc with my brother as i was fed up with him stealing and lying. Don't regret it but it has made things awkward with my neices.

Yes
About 4 years ago. My only regret is that I didn't do it decades ago.

I'm very low contact with my brother,but my mum has relocated to be closer to him,which makes things awkward when visiting 😔
