    Don't be a coward. Tell them. Then get some distance to allow everyone to cool off. Don't slink away. Take what they have to say. Recognise where their coming from and don't let their anger dictate your reaction. This is your life.

    If they want to be in your life and your prepared to make an effort then they'll be apart of your future.

    These arnt just any people. You really only have one family

    "Family" doesn't mean squat if they beat you and treat you like a non human. I am blessed to have a lovely family, but I can empathize with someone who doesn't. Leaving a situation like the OP's without a word is very courageous and not the least bit cowardly. Please, consider the situations of others before declaring "but's it's your family, you owe them."


    Lol good lord. You need to learn to quote accurately.
    I want the OP to fully realise the totality of what their suggesting. I know abuse. And I know forgiveness too.
    If the OP needs to walk away for safety then so be it
    If there's another way then I think it's worth trying

    But that's just my two cents.

    I can quote JUST fine, thanks. Forgiveness is overrated.

    There's no way I'm asking anyone to forgive for the sake of the person who wronged you. Forgiveness is a conscience choice to look to the future without anything holding you back.

    They'll get what they deserve one way or another.

    To any future posters...not sure why, but OP has deactivated their account. So don't know if they'll even be reading any further comments.
