Just went no contact with the rest of my extended family…cousins…who had participated in a cyberbullying operation against me WHILE i was in the middle of treatment for cancer, because none of them had one drop of empathy for me whatsoever.

My husband says my family is clearly toxic and very dysfunctional so I shouldn’t be sad or hurt, I should just feel happy and proud of myself from escaping them.

I feel like a fool for not having seen earlier, what they were all doing to me. I let the harm go on far too long.

At least I am free now…something none of them ever expected.

And they have lost their favorite punching bag…me.

Their lives, already not very good due to alcoholism, prison, repayments to people they stole from, poverty, etc. etc. are about to get far worse, too, due to Trump policies.
