I haven't seen most of the family for 30 years. There will be violent rapists there, who abused me as a child. It is literally not physically safe for me to go there
@Deanna's Gap. I am glad that worked out for you but your situation it has no relevance for my situation. For my situation that is actually very dangerous advice. I could end up in hospital with a fractured skull, broken arm, and I don't ever want to get raped again. These are very powerful White men with all the legal and social connections to get out of most things.
None of the family lifted a finger to help me out when my Father was stalking me, and harassing me, when I was homeless or when I had no food to eat. And if I went to his funeral they would all gang up on me and scream at me for not visiting my Father whilst he has been dying this last year.
Some families are just too toxic to have contact with, and my very large and extended family is one of those too toxic families.
They also don't deserve someone like me in their lives. They just don't.
