Do you have a toxic family member that you’re dealing with?
How do you handle them?
My brother is toxic, he’s getting worse everyday.
I can’t completely rule him out of my life but I’m interacting with him a little less.
He’s definitely not good for my mental health
Is he a sadist?
I have that…
I think you’ve answered the question with what you’ve said there.
My dad is toxic. He talks daily about how the world will soon end.
The end is always near and everything you try will fail. Everything is a bad idea.
I just manage the amount of time I see him IRL as that is most draining of my energy.
Ive got some toxic family members, who i try to avoid but thats not always possible. I see it as an exercise in patience, tolerance and forebearance.
The thing with schizophrenia is a lot of us can’t choose who’s in our circle of people we hang around with.
It’s just one more humiliation of the disease.
I don’t have any toxic family members.
I’m lucky to have a wonderful family.
Oh my God!
Exactly what I was thinking!
So true!
No contact. Indefinitely
Half my aunts have split off from the other half, and all the cousins have split as well
Ever since the Covid pandemic, people fell out and there is not going to be reconciliation
I tried to get involved to help, but that did not work.
My aunt is a sociopath. She and my mother don’t get along well. She’s a cruel person. Made me cry when I was little and it caused a rift in the family.
Am I a toxic person guys?
no not at all i think youre a positive person!
No man you kick ass your a very real person. Too hard on yourself
My one uncle threatened to chop off a body part I can’t say here and he had a knife he also said the reason I have sza is because “my parents didn’t kick my ass as a kid” well personally I think I’m a better person than he is also he said because I drink coffee “ I’m gonna purposely murder somebody with my bow” he’s a idiot
Yes, unfortunately he could very well be a sadist @zoa
You know him,avoid his presence…
Again, unfortunately I have to rely on him for certain things like car rides.
It’s impossible for me to initiate no contact
My dad can be toxic. Probably more-so than most. Not sure why. I am dependent by ‘choice’ and want a relationship and think I need more help from him like emotional, financial, and social support.
My step-father can be toxic too. He tells me my mom is fat constantly. He should look in the mirror sometimes before criticizing her.
My Uncle might be too. He’s super sensitive and cannot handle criticism, conflict, different opinions, etc. He pretty much stopped talking to me a few times over the years (ghosted me). He’s polite though. (He still lives with my grandma, his mom). He does that to a lot off folks over the years. I think he’s MI too but not as severe as myself.
I think I am toxic. I think a lot of people are. I think it’s common. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. It sucks.
It does seem like a male issue in my family. Like projecting dominance and trying to be the ‘alpha male’.
I have zero friends, partly by choice. I don’t mind it but I get lonely. Forum here gives me enough social interaction.
I have a smaller family, but w/e.
I have a toxic brother…he and I aren’t speaking atm. He is going to apologize this time to me and my wife (he made her cry when I read her what he said about her), he is definitely a bad guy.
