You Dont Owe Your Family Affection If They Are Being Abusive And Treating You Poorly. I Know That Its So Difficult Not To Feel Guilty For Holding Back That Love. I Know That There Are People Who Will Tell You That You Should Just Grin And Bear It Because Theyre Family. People Who Will Shame You For The Way You Feel. People Who Will Try To Convince You That Wanting To Take Care Of Yourself In This Way Is Selfish And Unjustified. But The Truth Is That Its Not Your Responsibility To Be kind Or Loving To People Who Have Constantly Hurt Or Abused You Especially When These People Continue To Disregard Your Feelings, Ignore Your Boundries & Refuse To Take Responsibility For Their Behavior. Just Because The Person Hurting You Is Family Doesnt Make Them An Exception. Choosing Not To Be Affectionate With Family Who Has Abused You Doesnt Make You A Bad Person It Isnt Being Selfish Or Disrespectful. Its A Form Of Self Care. Its About You Honoring Your Feelings And Holding People Accountable For Their Abuse. Its About You Standing Up For Yourself & Your Needs. Its About You Making Your Mental Issues A Priority. So If Getting Distance From Family Members Is What You Need , Or Permanently, Then You Have Every Right To With Hold Your Love And Leave. You Dont Have To Sacerfice Yourself For Sake Of Maintaining A Relationship. And You Dont Ever Have To Apologize For A Safer Space For Yourself !!!!!!
