Had a falling out with my extended family during Covid times. Goes way deeper than Covid, lots of generational trauma stuff.

Frankly I’ve moved on and am very happy with my life now without them apart of it.

My cousin callled me and told me they want me back as part of the family. I just need to apologize first.

I was like nah I’m good. I won’t be apologizing this time or ever.

Felt good.

Stick up for yourself.

Then wake up and do it again,

And some more the next day.

You don’t owe anyone anything.

This resonates with me. Such a tough decision to make but sounds like you thought long and hard about it. The toughest decisions are often the right ones. Stay strong and positive 💪🫶

Apologies are not necessary, they obviously aren’t ready to put the past behind and move on…yet.

While I hope all of you experience restoration one day, I completely get that sometimes you have to place boundaries and end relationships that are no longer serving you in any positive way.

my mom & sis (both nurses) freaked & put up nonsense also/ now backed off finally

I try to forgive others their mistakes and don’t hold grudges. Why would you care if they had/have a different opinion?

Before I learned about Bitcoin, and the many ways it changes your life, I would have been saying:, dude, just get over it and bring the family back together. Now I'm like: good choice man, you have a better quality of life without that stupid shit going on.

I can relate to this. I always believe that our family is one of our lessons. Eg. Drawing healthy boundaries, taking a different path that they want you to take or simply living your life in your own terms. Some family esp parents think that they own their kids, that somehow their kids are obligated...

It’s a harsh realisation when you understand that there are toxic people in real life that will only harm those close around them. Worst when they are part of your family. And the healthiest thing you can do is to stay away from them. I am not proud but I do enjoy where I am today and I am sure it...

I once read that your family is as they are to teach you the greatest lessons about unconditional love. And the lessons work both ways. Some of the lessons are also to teach you unconditional love of the self. It helped changed my perspective on some family interactions. 💜

how gay is it to reach someone and then ask for apology

I had to cease comms with my closest cousin, we used to play in a band together in high school and while residing in different countries communicated regularly. COVID brought out his feeble mindset. I’d send him underlying data from government health orgs to show it wasn’t as bad as it was being...

Really appreciate your honest and positive voice in the space. I like you approach of being a good person rather than kind. I’ve found that being kind gets you walked on. Being a good person gets you respect

much prefer this inspirational stuff than the anti-dem pro-trump stuff. keep it up.

I love your story bro. I'm in the same boat. My father passed and everyone revealed their true colors... it was WILD! I've learned this same very lesson just like you since then. Thanks for sharing bro. I'll pray for you to continue to stay strong like this and show strength like you have to protect...
