Adopting Support Skills: Leaving Toxic Relationship

  (contd) (3) How I leave toxic relationships, or even set boundaries is that I use social support from other sources. I need cheerleading and encouragement to do these difficult tasks, and I also need a place to grieve over the loss, and to have my relational needs met.

  (Contd) (2) In the past, I leave relationships with all kinds of words and actions that burn any and all bridges. I am working on having more civility, more forgiveness, and more grace on my part if I have to leave relationships. This is better because it will not encourage problems like revenge or who-knows-what from the toxic person.

  (1) In the past I always leave and never look back. Easy. Much later, I begin to have the strength to adopt another approach: ie. I don't cut you off forever. I may depart for now because you are not good for me, but one day if we are willing to make changes, I am still open for a friendship or kinship. Its good to make peace one day. ...(to be contd)

  For me, I just shut them off from my live.

  Slowly disappear from their lives, remembering that those ppl are God’s creations too. Less replies to their messages, pretending to be busy when they call, giving white lies for not seeing them Instead of having a fight or cursing each other, it’s more mature to let them disappear from your life with a smile

  Just be honest. Then see if the involved party want to compromise. Otherwise you have said your terms, with no regrets, you both leave amicably

  Recognise that you are being hurt in the relationship, the other party is being hurt or both sides are being hurt. By leaving, you are taking responsibility and putting yourself first, taking care of yourself; that you matter. A closure is so important for both sides. if one side cannot close no matter what, closure for yourself is the priority. And safety for yourself

  Toxic relationship could emerge from a person who was previously in positive relationship with us. It's good to examine ourselves whether it's really needed to leave the person. If he/she is really meant to be toxic, then end your thoughts and communication with them being out of their sight.

  I think the best solution is to seek professional help so as to have the situation mediated by someone who is objective, qualified, and provides confidentiality.

  Leaving a toxic relationship will be hard, as one posted, we need to identify how we identify a toxic relationship. As I mentioned earlier the intent is important. I can forgive someone who was overwhelmed being harsh with their words, but not too frequent. To leave a rs probably just slowly cut off contact.

  The first thing is to identify the toxic relationships. It will be difficult to identify and realize the relationships types if you find it toxic then stop it immediately or cut down the depth of relationships. You need to realize its part of self-care and it will spoil the life so you have to take the necessary steps like cut down the contacts, mingling or even relocate to give up that toxic relationships.

  For leaving a relationship ,just ignore them , is the best way to stop them from hurting us. Also we should concentrate on our self care tools that will make more good impact on us.

  It may sound a little too harsh, but I have been burnt too many times in my life before by trying to "save" a toxic relationship but honestly, it's not worth the effort and energy that we put into trying to "save" it.

  I have problems with maintaining a relationship but have no issues about leaving one. If I find that a relationship is toxic I will just stop responding to that person. I will also block that person so that he/she won't be able to add me on social media or any other communication platforms.
