Hi Claire,
This is a fork in the road for sure. …unless you already picked a direction.
I have an experience to share and I have a timely article that may help – I just read it.
My brother used to be very toxic, to the point one day when I said I would not bring someone over for a visit. I said it was not good for his immediate family either. I just laid it out there and I’m sure I did it with care and concern. I told my sister in law. Initially he pushed back. Then he dropped the toxic stuff! Night and day since! He seems much happier, too! 🙂
The article is: How to Have Difficult Conversations. See Psychology Today’s blog.
