Tweeted this sometime ago, but the best thing I did with my 20s, and now my early 30s, is to CUT TOXIC FAMILY OUT. I can’t stress how difficult it is in my particular indian context, how vilified boundaries are, and how of an outlier it has made me.

The guilt!!! The shame!!! But I now know it’s no longer mine, it’s projected to control and keep one in line. This may sound ~dramatic~ but it really isn’t. The way Indian families normalize toxicity and enable it’s perpetuation across generations is really is thru shame/guilt

Recently, I asked for your prayers bc my mom was in the ER on her birthday bc of a suspected brain aneurysm/hemorrhage that gave her thunderclap headacheS. It was a traumatizing incident for me 1000s of miles away, stuck, in a pandemic, waiting for results.
