Some people say if it was that bad why did you stay.  People stay because they are afraid of being ostracized.  We all want to belong and therefore we self deface ourselves by being in relationships that damages our psyche and our health.  Feel free to agree or disagree with me.  We attribute blame to other people for all that ails us.  If you are a kid you have no control but when you are grown you can detach yourself from relationships that are stagnant or that are not a contributing factor to your common good.  Family has nothing to do with blood, true family is a bond that stays together in good times as wells as trying times.  If you can’t depend on those who say they are there for you, unloose the knot and let them go.
