No contact family

If you’ve had to go no contact with toxic family, you know the strength required to protect yourself this way. Gaslighting abounds within the toxic family. They call you crazy, deny your reality, or reinvent the past.

Therapist Dr. Alexandra Soloman discusses the ways 'no contact' can hold us back from growth ... and when it's justified.

Sometimes the family narrative of “They walked away from the whole family!” translates directly to ”They went no-contact with one or two people in the family due to ab*se and then the rest of us cut them off to prop up the abuser(s)/status quo/family image.” This is how it went down in my family of origin, and I know I’m not alone… Within days of going no-contact with my mom and dad, my brother, my sister, and my grandma whom I loved dearly all informed me they wouldn’t communicate with…

“My parent was so kind and loving, but I decided to throw away all the comfort and security of their kindness and love and join the No Contact Club,” said no child ever.
