That question seems to be very helpful.

Just because you share blood does not give them the right to treat you like shit. It also does not obligate you to stick around if they are treating you like shit. It's very difficult to cut off family because the belief is family should be the people always there for you. However, you have to ask yourself some difficult questions and make some decisions.

Why are they treating you this way?
Why are you allowing them to do this?
What do you want to do?
What are the benefits of keeping them in your life?
Is there a chance for remediation?

You don't have to answer these questions here. You don't even have to answer them at all. They are just there if you want them.

You could tell them how you feel. You could just disappear. Only you know the path to take.
