She hates it but he’s to toxic for my life.

I try to but it’s hard to get through to her when she sees the fault lies within me not him

She does not have to agree with you. She needs to understand your point of view.
I would keep communicating.

I have a sibling who doesn’t communicate with half of the family, but she never explained except to one persistent person. She simply cut them out. I don’t think there is a right or wrong way to do it.

How so? If he’s toxic, how is that your fault?

He is toxic, but she won’t see it. He can throw things at me but I “provoked” him. How? By asking him to quit drinking. It is the way I said it apparently.
Gas lighting and emotional abuse

@anon4362788 is right. It’s gas lighting and emotional abuse. It’s not your fault

Is it weird I’ve stopped caring … he’s gone to the pub again and I don’t care. Almost like I lost any empathy

I can understand being numb towards him. I have a sister who has been very mean to me my whole life. Finally, she did something unspeakable to me. Lifelong damage. That was it. That was the final straw. I haven’t cared since. My other sister and I are very close but due to what happened we no longer include her in anything. We just see her at Christmas and at the summer family gathering and that’s it.

If you feel she won’t understand, maybe just dont explain anything.
I don’t speak to one family member, but instead of explaining to everyone I just don’t.
It’s too much hassle.
Even if that family member has a lot to say about me, I don’t open my mouth. I’d rather just let it go.
I know myself why I don’t and that’s enough for me.

People tend to believe that family member over me anyways, so I just can’t be asked to waste my breath.

No, you still care @anon25873142
You are a good person
If you feel comfortable ignoring him for a while then do so

He clearly doesn’t care about his own health why should I spend my time worrying about it and let it impact me

Totally agree with you, Ish, you have to set boundaries for things like that, too much worrying is bad for you. And doesn’t help him either.
