How have you dealt with dysfunctional, truly abusive family/people who do not get help? I go to therapy. They don't. Everyone says CUT TIES.

Yes. It's the only way to heal, grow strong, and stay sane. Forgive on your schedule. Forget? Move on when you're ready.

Forgiveness is easier when it's other people. It's me I'm most angry at for allowing it go on and on and on despite knowing. I kept up hope.

That's helpful. Any tips?
I have noticed this too - traveling outside the US has often shifted focus and given fresh perspective in a way nothing else has! Can't now.
Health issues, maybe one day again. I hope so! There are a few places left to see :)
And that part matters the most. They call me "Lady Bountiful" and think I bought my friends. My generous, outgoing nature is a joke to them!
So yes, I count my blessings and see I have a much healthier family elsewhere - worldwide in fact. THAT is my greatest blessing in this life

One is full-on Cluster B including narcissistic and paranoid personality disorder and the other is a closed-down fearful, passive follower.

Them words ring very true. "Can't fight crazy." And that means it's time to stop fighting that crazy which makes my crazy much crazier. :D

Yes. That ACCOUNTABILITY issue that was drilled into my head. I am, I will be, accountable for my acts and thoughts. It can take time tho :)
