Re: Random
When I meet with people, I ask myself if meeting them makes me feel good, do they bring me up or bring me down. Will they ever bring value to my life. Are they toxic, do they disturb my peace and happiness that is how I make that decision. I have even emotionally disconnected from siblings as they are judgemental and as in @Aqua case after a long time they came to visit and they also started to target my kids in order to protect them, I need to insulate them. I feel if you are trying to hurt then you are not really family.
The best way is to not really burn bridges but disappear from the scene.
