      Exactly. Because it have been embedded into us to keep them around no matter what. But the Holy Spirit have been advising me to separate from family as well. Possibly even more so. Because at times family can be more toxic then anyone you have ever came in contact with.

      Yeah. When you are telling somebody that you r cutted off family you will always feel the pressure. "She is your mom! Its more precious in the world! You are cruel!" - they said. But when you are teling them what shit she is done, and how cruel all family was - everybody understands.

    Finally, someone who thinks like me. I don't subscribe to "blood is thicker than water". I have said for years blood means nothing to me if you are a toxic person. I have told people, I can't help who I'm kin to, so they can get cut off just like anybody else. I don't have to deal with anyone I don't have to who have those bad spirits. Then people want to say I'm wrong and need more love. You can't brainwash me with your misinterpretation of scripture. For the super saints in the back, being a Christian does mean being a door mat and no, I don't have to like you. Don't like and hate are 2 different things.

    Now I fully understand why God told Abraham to get thee out from among thy kindred. Some of your family members can be a hindrance to your growth and success with their drama and negativity especially if they only call to dump their problems on you, now you’re tired and spiritually exhausted and half crazy. Really need to exercise wisdom and discernment of the spirit concerning your family, the ones you need to disconnect from or keep your distance. Hate to say it but but some of your family are assigned against you by the devil, anointed of the devil to try and bring you down especially if you don’t fit in. But when you fit in with God and his plans for a better quality of life with a zero tolerance, nothing and no one can bring you down...

I keep the peace but she continuously picks, keeps mess up, lie about everything and always negative. Im tired and I want better for me and my children. She's a drainer. I'm the only one who looks just like my dad and I've always been the target. I'm ready to move but I'm a little scared but I'm absolutely ready.

    Right on time! Currently dealing with some drama in regards to family & it has been going on for a couple years now. I have NO interest in making it up with them as I was blindsided in the process. Mind your business, keep my name out your damn mouth, keep your social/physical distance & we WONT HAVE A DAMN PROBLEM! Refuse to deal with toxic people & narcissists just because we share the same damn DNA. These people need to seek medical attention & need to grow the hell up. Thank you for the tips you have provided in this video!

  • @ladynottingham89
    @ladynottingham89 Před rokem +8

    I felt this Tony. I am an only child and my parents have always been verbally abusive and domineering. I've never understood why they never liked me. I didn't do anything to them. They undermined my self-esteem and my belief in myself. I eloped with my husband who is from another state and we have a new baby. I can't begin to tell you how bad they made me feel for moving to another state and having their first grandchild away from them. Everytime I visited they guilt-tripped me. After a while I gave in. I asked my husband to let me move back for a year or two with them so they could spend time with the baby and he agreed even though he was not happy about it. Not to my surprise my parents went back to their old selves demeaning me and undermining my parenting with my daughter. I know I'm a good mom. I'm no dirtbag and I don't deserve the way they treat me. I am trying to get closer to God, but I feel the resentment buildup and it gets in the way of me building a relationship with Him. I feel like the enemy is using my parents to put hurt and resentment in my heart so I don't have a pure heart for God and can progress spiritually. I bite my tongue to not offend the Lord by talking back to them but it's so stressful. I'm human and there's only so much I can take. I am thinking about having a frank conversation with my parents next time it happens about going back to live with my husband and cutting them off if they keep mistreating me, especially in front of my daughter. The Bible says to not let the sun set on your anger and reason with your neighbor and I want to reason with them. I hope they listen to me and do better (even though I know they won't) because I can't let the stress keep accumulating and affecting my ability to work towards my goals and concentrate in school so I can get back to work because I have all this built up tension. I'm sick of feeling torn between them and my husband. If they continue I WILL cut them off because I'm sick of listening to the guilt trips, the indirect criticisms. I'm done. I'm not going to let them destroy my marriage to keep me under their thumb and mistreat me.

      There's WAYS for you to get TF outta there!!! You can easily go to a shelter or a "safe space" location in your area if it doesn't feel right, and if you have no peace in your soul. Go stay with a friend temporarily until you save enough money to get your own place, even if it's a tiny, cheap room or studio.
      Remember, mental health and peace in your mind is EXTREMELY important to be able to grow and survive and to MAKE IT in the real world, because the last thing you need is for your family's negativity to disorient you from stressing you out, I mean can you imagine that?
      This was exactly what a part of my abusive Foster family ATTEMPTED to do to me when I was in high school.
      And I seriously hope that you do RUN for your LIFE, SAVE yourself as this man in the video said, I saved MYSELF when my foster family were attacking me with their abusive negativity, trying to ruin my mind.
      PLEASE check out my pedophilia videos on my small CZcams channel, look what they did to ME 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    • @Yummie-Cakes
      @Yummie-Cakes Před 7 měsíci

      Listen sweetheart, ik you're a minor and I love helping children because I was a helpless abused little girl and I have two daughters that were removed from me and adopted
      And a police officer recently told me that by the time you're 14 or 15, you have the legal right to go to your local courthouse and file a motion for a court hearing so that you can ask a judge where you live for permission to move out and go live with other family members who aren't mean to you, or even friends that have adults in the home whom will TREAT you right.
      You have your rights to move with any other adult that makes you feel more comfortable and at ease, where you can just relax and be yourself.
      I found this out from police to try to discover what my possibilities might be to be able to access my eldest daughter if I ever have the blessing to get in touch with her in the next few years, since she's almost at that age.
      I also know that this is factual information, because when I was 14, one of my foster family members passed away so the other family members asked me to choose my own decision of where I wanted to go and whom I wanted to be with in the family after the funeral.
      I was 14 when all of this was going on. And so I went with different family members and they took me to court I'm guessing so they could be granted custody over me.
      You'll understand more about what happened after I went to move with "THEM" in my pedophilia videos.
      I'm so glad I got away.
      God bless you, I pray you find peace and that you make your own decision of where you want to be.
      You are old enough now to do so.🙏🏼🤍🧸

I'm glad you touch this topic for many years I experience toxic family members and the negativity of envy jealous all the above all because I chose to do better for myself. and now you said it. their favorite word is do I think I'am better than them I've learn to reply by saying I choose to do better. Some people refuse to be motivated and criticize you for being. motivated. most people only survival is drama and staying stuck.This is why I'm a loner right today. allergic to drama, most people will drop their drama at your door for you to solve. while they rest. not going to happen here. I be da.. if I give up some of my hours to a individual and I only have 24 hrs. in a day. the devil is a liar and the truth aint in it. I tell them God is the answer not me. toxic is toxic I don't care who it is. my family know it very well how I role. I tell them all I love them from a distance, You don't really hear from family until they need or want something or want you to solve their issues. God is the only answer. negative. don't live here. My joy will not be robbed. I've learn over the years most people didn't come in our lives to bring peace.

    Great message Tony it is very hurtful when your family members feel like you feel better than them because you have a degree and want to do better. I am trying to do something better with my life but instead you want to tear me down. My brother told me that people mirror how they feel about themselves on you. Be Blessed

      I agree. My family hates because I moved away and earned a higher degree so I could rise out of poverty. It's sad when relatives are so negative evil and jealous

    Thank you so much for this message!! I have had to cut “family” out and thought that I would feel guilty about, but don’t! I have had so much peace. I have concentrated on my new company quietly while they think that I’m depressed not being included. I’m working on my destiny and feel great! God bless you Tony!!

    Saying no is the most beautiful thing I ever learned to do. Yes, Lord!!!

    Both the pain of discipline and regret both hurt me in some way but now I’m at peace you’re right the lesson was bigger than the mess w my family. I have no problem cutting them off to let them grow!

    👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 This message is on point Mr. Gaskins I had to cut my toxic family members off and I feel so much at peace now since I have done that. I’m not losing any sleep over it either. We have to break those generational curses and my family is so dysfunctional. I chose not to be a part of it and I know they are probably upset, mad and talking about me, Who cares! I can’t worry about that. I will Love them from a distance ✌🏽✌🏽God has really been good to me since I have let those toxic family members go. Thank you for putting this message out there.
