Yikes! That must be hard on you. Sometimes I feel that if people are just a negative force in your life, then you really just don't need it weighing you down. One of my brother's no longer talks to me as I've befriended his firstborn son, who he has never had anything to do with. My brother wanted me to cease contact with him as it causes him anxiety.... I say how about my nephew's feelings who has been shunned his whole life. It's strained my whole family, but it's totally worth it to me now I've gained a very appreciative nephew, and feel I've done right by him. Good luck with your situation!

There’s times when I’ve tried explaining to my best friend how I’m feeling and I know by the look on her face she doesn’t believe me, I know it. But the way I look at it is I don’t have to explain myself or my situation to anyone. Their opinion is irrelevant. If they’re not supportive towards you then I would start just giving that person space. It hurts our feelings more and anything that causes yourself distress isn’t worth it. I get more pissed because I know if the shoe was on the other foot they wouldn’t be handling this life as well as me. So hold your head high and just remove anyone or anything that’s toxic in your life. It’s not something that you have to do abruptly but I mean if ripping off the band aid suits then go for it .
