Toxic people

[Shehasadiamondinthesky]

Is it OK to get rid of toxic people who have made your life a misery and still do so at every opportunity even though they are old? I dont feel I can deal with it any more but I know I will be judged for not being around for them in their old age. I feel sick repulsion everytime I go there or get a phone all or text message.

Yes and why wouldn't it be?. Such people were once young and abusive and now they are old and abusive. They have not changed in all the years since. They certainly do not apologise nor accept any responsibility for their actions.

Their "flying monkeys" (people sent in by them to do their dirty work) may judge you but they are not interested in hearing your side of things so their opinion should be ignored.
Those that matter do not mind and those that mind do not matter.

It’s hard, but yes you can. I had to with my own fathers side of my family. Did years ago. He is my real father, who got married to an awful woman. Had three kids with her and only one of the seems ok. I love my dad but have not had much relationship with him due to what comes with him and how he became when with them. So I cut my losses and put all my energy towards my mothers side of the family, and although I miss my dad staying around him, it just wasn’t with all the heartache that came with him. Do it in little steps, where you feel comfortable, then the hard bit is learning to let go of what isn’t working. People can be so difficult if they are not self aware of the harm they cause
