The most important things to realize:
When you recognize your own darkness, you will see it in them, and see them for who they actually are as people. Then it will become easy to drop them from your life.
You’ll know you've reached full acceptance when you receive a hoover and send it straight to spam/trash without an emotional reaction, or a second thought about it.
What kind of lights would you like to use for your home decor?
Recognizing the darkness in yourself allows you to see it very clearly in others. A narcissist is consumed with darkness. That is: deceit, sadism, and ego.
The family's “in group” do not have intimate relationships. They are transactional and look down on each other. In other words, you aren't missing anything.
They don't love you.
What did someone say to you that instantly made you realize their life was in danger?
In that sense, acceptance is strongly related to building awareness.
You don't owe them anything.
They enjoy hurting you.
Your life is better in every single way without them.
You will never be enough no matter what you do. At best, they will make backhanded compliments or just ignore you.
