@leave_then_cleave: We’ve been estranged from my wife’s family (of nearly 40 people) for 3.5 years…. We’ve learned a few lessons over the years and wanted to share them for those that might be going through this as well. In this video I share a bit about DARVO. Have you experienced this before? Would love to hear your experience in the comments below. Hope this video is helpful to you on your journey 🫶 #estrangement #nocontact #estrangedadultchildren #toxicfamily #narcissisticfamilysystem

Yes! The truth teller is always the problem in a toxic environment.

I hope that eventually there can be forgiveness, healing with the goal to reunite the family.

If they’re willing to try to hide this, it makes you wonder what else they’re willing to hide. You’re doing the right thing for your children. God bless.

I’d rather have my child called a tattletale than a thief. They definitely have their priorities mixed up. With that said, I wouldn’t go to estrangement, I would go with supervised family visits. No more sleepovers.

It's because they're afraid it will reflect badly on them. That's why they are doing this.

Calling someone a tattletale or a snitch is an attempt to manipulate someone else. Your daughter sounds more mature than her grandmother. 😳

The number of commenters who want you to sweep your child's feelings of discomfort away for the sake of "family unity" is concerning.

I strongly dislike people who give more attention to how the information was shared instead of the issue at hand.

Seems to me she was not being a tattletale. She was expressing to her parents what made her uncomfortable at a sleepover.

That’s a testament to your parenting that she’s so comfortable talking with you about anything!! Another testament to your marriage because family is family you only get one . . . . I’m so sorry that your daughter is experiencing such toxic behavior from family members who should definitely know better . . . . . . .

You are making a mistake by totally cut her off from her maternal family. Your daughter sounds like she has a good head on her shoulders and will not follow the crowd in breaking rules. Good for her! So don’t let her do sleep overs but you can still be a part of the family.

The people in the comments talking about how bad estrangement is for growing children have obviously never lived in a toxic family environment. This is literally where dysfunctional family dynamics come from. Your decision wasn’t based on just one incident but rather a pattern of harmful behaviors.

Not defending the Gma but why is that her responsibility if she didn't even know it was occurring? Why not confront the parents?

Whew. Thats the kind of stance that will have a “touchy uncle” terrorizing the kids in the family for GENERATIONS.
