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.

1 Caller ID is a godsend. Every time my mother calls, I just happen to be driving/in a meeting/in the bathroom. If I'm forced to visit,

2/ I have an escape plan to be able to leave soon. When your family is toxic, better to take some distance. A frontal attack is useless 😢
