Not all toxic people are cruel and uncaring. Some of them love us dearly. Many of them have good intentions. Most are toxic to our being simply because their needs and way of existing in the world force us to compromise ourselves and our happiness. They aren’t inherently bad people, but they aren’t the right people for us. And as hard as it is, we have to let them go. Life is hard enough without being around people who bring you down, and as much as you care, you can’t destroy yourself for the sake of someone else. You have to make your wellbeing a priority. Whether that means breaking up with someone you care about, loving a family member from a distance, letting go of a friend, or removing yourself from a situation that feels painful - you have every right to leave and create a safer space for yourself.

Do you have people in your life that are the "loving toxic" too? Like the quote says...they love us dearly but they're still toxic. It can be easy to remove ourselves from the "uncaring toxic"...but not so easy when the person involved is a loved one. Have you noticed this too? How do you handle it?
Some might tell you that you have to leave these people...again not easy to do when this person is a family member is it? No, it's not. So if we can't leave the family...how do we handle this?
