@leave_then_cleave: The healthier you get, the harder dysfunction is to ignore. Things you once called “normal” start looking very different when you’re no longer surviving them. You notice the manipulation. The guilt. The double standards. The roles everyone is expected to play. The things nobody is allowed to talk about. And once you see the pattern, you can’t unsee it. That isn’t bitterness. Sometimes it’s clarity. The veil is lifted. And healing means you don’t have to put it back on just to make everyone else comfortable. #FamilyDysfunction #ToxicFamily #HealingJourney #FamilyBoundaries #CycleBreaker

It's true. And it's very painful.

Angie VanderVinne :

Truth and your circle becomes smaller. Not mad just done.

Valleygirl33 :

That's it. You can't unsee it. And even though my siblings have been the recipient- they protect the abuser. Make it make sense.

crazymamma087 :

No 👏🏼 truer 👏🏼 words 👏🏼. They say I’ve become meaner tho. 😅

Serenity :

I can feel your hurt, it’s not even about revenge, it’s about the sadness of not having a supportive unconditional loving family. You are helping many sharing your journey through this.

jessdale56 :

Thank God for that! ❤️🫶🏼

Heidi Greg :

And you see it so fast when other's in your life (even outside of family) have dysfunctional behavior and have to work through your triggers
