How do you deal with toxic family members? The Narcississtic manipulative type who loves to create a drama, or issue then when you respond suddenly you are the bad guy.Been dealing with it for the past 2 decades, have not been talking about it, but now it’s affecting my mental health. For the past 18 years, I kept quiet, because I was taught that keeping quiet will keep the peace, I was hoping that someday people will change, I have faith in people, i believe in character development but as days and years goes by, it seems like I was wrong. Some people never change.

always remember to protect your self-space, have your peace of mind and peace in heart… keep in mind that you can only control and be in charge of things from your end… you can always pray for your family members and loved ones hoping that one day also a miracle may happen…

Hoping so. As they get old, they become more toxic. And I dont want my kids to be growing up in this kind of environment.

that’s very true @Anna ! stay strong and shower your children with so much love when you can 
they always look forward to you coming home each night from work… also we have to remember that not only physiological diseases or illnesses can be contagious as even a psychological condition can be contagious too… (e.g. folie a deux etc)… you can also go out at times bond with your kids in nature or somewhere rejuvenating and safe…
