I went full no contact about a decade ago. After dealing with crippling lonelyness and finally figuring out how to manage my mental health I decided to open up again a couple years back. Some days are better than others. Most of my family is still a hot mess and not progressing toward any meanginful change. But they’re there and I’m better at keeping their issues at arms length so it’s not all bad. Nice to have people talk to, even if it’s mostly about drama they got themselves into
