Toxic Relatives And Their Kids.. Please Help!!!

[J_trustno1]

Hi all, I really need some help from you guys today.

I was at my mum's sister's house today. Every time I am around these people their kids insult yet they are 11 or 14 yrs younger than I am but they treat me like shit all the time. They pick on my looks, age, financial status or what not like their parents have always done. I'm nothing more than a piece of trash around these people.

I really don't know what to do or say to these people. I never have come backs to these kids because their parents are there to support their nasty behavior. I have a fear of mum's relatives because of past physical, sexual, emotional and verbal abuse. It's like I don't exist and these people have all the rights to say everything. I have been on therapy, antidepressants and Levothyroxine (for hypothyroidism) for the last 3 + years. Whenever I am around toxic people my body starts deteriorating.

I know that I have avoid them but just in case I am around them due to unfortunate circumstances, what should I do?

It is very painful to be around people who give us that "impression"of not being worthy enough. When our own self conception is apparently affirmed by others.

Their evaluation doesnt have to be yours. You can try to reflect on your own sense of self-worth.
