It is essential to acknowledge when toxic family members are causing chaos in our lives by setting boundaries. We often struggle to establish boundaries due to feelings of guilt, pity, or obligation towards our family members. This hesitancy to set boundaries enables the chaos to persist. By giving ourselves permission to recognize the truth about our loved ones and stand firm on boundaries, we can introduce order and structure back into our lives, even when dealing with family members who are causing chaos.
The Minimalists talk about why people avoid peace and go searching for chaos instead.
