and please seek support when you do, else you risk falling back in. spoken from experience.
Maniacxxl
Thank you for this. I'm going through a divorce.
prunesgavemediarrhea
Kinda needed to see this. Can't help but feel bad for cutting off everything with a really awful ex who still wants to be friends
literallymike
What if that's everybody?
Panda4hire
I had to do this with my X. She had major boundaries/abandonment issues.
darearkin
I've had to do it to two friends. Sucks majorly.
TheCrazyToaster
I think I need to do this not so much for me, but for them. I feel like I'm the toxic one. But whenever I confront them they say its fine.
Zrin
Why are posts from my Facebook news feed on here? Go away
fukmeefuku
I did this with a 'good' friend . After 5 years I was done, deleted all means of contact and never looked back. I miss her but I'm happier!
Fighter5345
Had a friend go absolutely toxic, used to like playing games with him then he went full COD Rage mode on everything. Such relief.
Ryukan
My girlfriend just broke up with me. This just hit me hard
theworldismybathroom
I feel ya
GenghisJohn2010
I've tried cutting my son off but I the police tell me I have to care for a 3 year old or go to jail.
CleverClint407
Lol
PropainAndPropainAccesories
Had to do this recently myself.. just remember. Loneliness triumphs over toxic company any day.
ProneHub
Im struggling with this, i used to have a best friend. We were inseparable. He started saying this "would-be gf" shit, i fell for it and now
ProneHub
I'm put back into my depressing hell hole that other people made for me in the past
JustLurkinAround07
K thanks facebook
buttersmgur
This was one of the hardest lessons I've ever had to learn
Gillmich
It's been two months since I cut a friend out of my life. It's been an awesome two months.
gnocchtastic
Oh god, me too
helholm
I did it four days ago. I dunno if I just did a huge mistake. Omg life.
Gillmich
It's rough, but after a couple weeks you'll know if it was the right choice.
helholm
Hope you are right! Thanks.

Nothing sucks more than realizing you may be the toxic person, which is my current situation.
nevergonnagivenevergonnagivafuck
I did it to my whole aunts side. They all called my wife and I losers because I've got tattoos and my wife left college because we couldn't
nevergonnagivenevergonnagivafuck
Afford it, they were always telling us were just going to fail without college. It hurt honestly but we're past it now and yeah, fuck them
Draesk
Wish I could afford to do that with my boss...
trentonyo
Still hurts, I don't feel guilt, I feel regret for not fixing it before it gets to that point
IUsedToBeTheWalrus
Still mad/sad because of losing a friend a few months ago. I still wonder if I could have fixed it...so many ifs.
TheOneWhoKnowsNothing
Right? Same thing here
Burke616
It's not always something you can fix. At least not while still being you.
humbleBrag0n
Thats true, but you also need to tell the person, (whom you're cutting out) why. This one of only times spontaneity is not ok.
NoKetchupJustSauce
A very good friend of mine decided one morning to cut me off from everything. It hurts not knowing why. Could be something I can change...
Cucumbawumba
I did that to a longtime friend... it was because whenever I DID tell her stuff she never changed, fought me, or brought up my own faults
Cucumbawumba
2/instead of recognizing hers. I got shut down no matter what. So I just stopped talking altogether. We eventually exchanged email for me to
Cucumbawumba
3/explain, cuz she said I was "unfair" to not tell her why I cut her out. But I had. She just hadn't listened. Not saying your situation's
Cucumbawumba
4/the same but perhaps there was a reason they didn't tell you. Maybe you didn't notice. Or it could be something completely unrelated to u
MARSWI86
I did that too a short while ago. Its always completely worth it, wish i had done it months before!
fatfury
i have a friend i keep letting back in. i need to stop. shes sucha terrible human being. i dont know why i cant let go.
hellomagic
You deserve better.
Jawesomesauce
What are you afraid of, if you do let her go?
fatfury
loneliness.. and she has an lcd computer monitor of mine that i dont wanna lose
Jawesomesauce
Once you let go of this 'friend', that will create space for someone new to come into your life :) also, spending time alone is a good thing
Cucumbawumba
Make up an excuse to get it back. "My mom is bugging me for it" or whatever. And trust me, lonely's better than being with a horrible person
IUsedToBeTheWalrus
The few times this has occurred has left me sad because I always wonder if things could have been fixed. I hate broken relationships.
IAmHereForAnimalGifs
If you're a teenager and feel like this about your familiy: Don't. Seriously. They (usually) only want the best for you.
dragonthatjumpedoverthemoon
...unless that teen is one of many actual abusive and toxic homes. many people have kids who should not have had then.
anvilon
Teen angst doesn't mean your family *isn't* toxic.
flummoxed0709
Exactly, teen angst doesn't mean your family is toxic
althefonzo
Amen to this! Using this as a last resort can be a lifesaver.
MamaKin
Been there; done that; many times. No regrets.
Jrockthecasbah88
As an ex Jehovah's witness. This is truth.
legalizegillyweed
As someone who's got half a family of witnesses mixed with ex witnesses I feel ya
MyFetishIsALittleOddish
I'm struggling with this right now. My family is toxic.

MyFetishIsALittleOddish
That is exactly what I struggled with for most of my life except my mom died when I was young. I'm so happy you have her to help you.
TylerDunkleberger
Report them to riot and get their accounts banned, or tell them to stop playing riven/vayne/yasuo. It will help!!
gingen
As is mine. I cut off my mother and sister. My father is on the brink of being cut off. Shit sucks. I miss having family that cares.
MyFetishIsALittleOddish
I agree. I'm so sorry. I've made myself a family of friends I hold on to dearly. I keep the people that treat me right rather than blood.
luchie24
I can't imagine not having family support. I hope you worked it out and find peace
AGirlWhoLeaptThroughPosts
Anyone can tell me how can I help a person that's in a hard situation like this? My sister is in a dark place right now and I want to help
AGirlWhoLeaptThroughPosts
But I don't know what to say or do
MyFetishIsALittleOddish
1/2 I wish I could help but it's a hard thing to give a lot of advice on if you don't know the person or their situation. I had to come to
MyFetishIsALittleOddish
2/2 terms with my family situation myself and realize I needed to do what's right for me. Not saying I didn't have support though.
ChunkyMonkeyFunky
Hugs!
MyFetishIsALittleOddish
Thanks!
MyFetishIsALittleOddish
Thanks!

It's hard, but you'll be happier. I walked away from my family seven years ago, and I'm much happier.
PoliticalDragon
Sorry to hear that.
SillyWaxFruit
It's alright, I cut everyone off the one I love, family, & friends because I realized I'm the toxic one in there lives.
Contrafibularities
Damn :(
antiAntagonist
This isn't healthy either. You should talk to someone about being a person you feel good about being. You deserve that.
WhatShouldIUseForMyUsername
I feel this way a lot and have ended a lot of relationships with people because I bring them down
MyFetishIsALittleOddish
You should try to work on you and get to where you want to be in your life and then when your ready build bridges again.
PhalliceOfMallice
I had to cut out the best man at my wedding. Took a while to get over it, but you will.
MyFetishIsALittleOddish
I'm sorry to hear that. Sucks doesn't it?
