I really like this; it makes prcefet sense to me. Why do people think tey must subject themselves to toxic people. Just say no! Replace Teri with my in-laws and it’s my situation verbatim except I cannot EVER completely get them out of my life. (Even if I were to get a divorce [I’m not] I could still have to see these people at my children’s events.) So I need to find another way to handle toxic in-laws.Great post, Rene9e.
