Hopefully your aunt will see that she is pushing people away some day and realize that she wants you all back in her life. Sorry to hear it.... That is a tough situation Brandy.

We have a toxic family member. My family has been experiencing trauma from this person since long before I was born. Just recently, with the death of my grandmother, things really came to a head with this person. I love my aunt, but several of us in the family are just so exhausted that we don't want to be around her. We've experienced enough turmoil and mental stress that we don't want to let her back in to cause future problems. We can't trust her. She doesn't think she has done anything wrong (and that's in the entire history of her life). She has gone as far to call others liars, even though that is not the case. We want to forgive her, but inviting her back into our lives at this time is not an option. Wow, this is so true and still very hard to do. We have a toxic family member.
