Families can be difficult to deal with sometimes, and itโs harder when the pattern continues, leading to emotional and/or mental abuse. To have the people you love the most treat you like you do not matter is heartbreaking . However, there are ways to end the cycle and live the life you deserve.
It takes a lot to cut people off whom you have admired all your life, but it is the right thing to do when you are repeatedly abused and manipulated. We have compiled some toxic family quotes, and we truly hope that these quotes bring about a new perspective, and the courage to let go, as well as some appreciation for life itself!
