[quote:Anonymous Coward 76623652:MV80MDYxMzc2XzczNTc5MDIxX0Y5N0YxNkE1] I have been estranged from my brother a few years. He started texting, wanting back into my life, but his toxic behavior made me sick, and triggered my PTSD again. I started having nightmares and such again. I felt angry constantly. I decided to cut him off again, and after a few months, now I am beginning to feel better. Estrangement is sickening for the soul, usually because you wanted the good and love of a sibling; but not all siblings are filled with good and love, ya know? I do think God allows for us to leave our abusers. I try to be estranged without anger, I work on forgiveness- but forgiveness does not mean a free pass to abuse me, so I will do it from afar. I dont know about you, but I had to cut off alot of people in order to make the estrangement complete in the fact that my mental health would stop suffering. :hf: [/quote]

brother betrayed me in business last month and I cussed him out and plan to estrange from him.
any of you done this with your siblings, for years even? for life?
it already weighs on me heavily and wondering if its bad for the soul and do you regret it?
