There is heavy cultural programming surrounding the concept and value of family relationships.
In reality though, these relationships are subject to all the same nuance and difficulty that is present in all human interaction.
So, to whoever may need to hear this during the holidays, it’s okay to cut out toxic relationships even if these happen to be with people you share a higher percentage of DNA with.
Just because someone is family doesn’t give them the right to abuse you or be an asshole.
