Breaking Free from Toxic Parents and Finding True Independence

It is often said that the best way to achieve true independence is to break away from toxic parents and seek out a new source of support. However, this advice may not always be the most effective path towards self-sufficiency. Seeking out a new source of dependency can lead to further entrapment in dangerous organizations such as multi-level marketing schemes, religious cults, “environmental” groups, non-profit organizations (NPOs), and female gurus. The first step towards achieving true independence is recognizing that relying on someone else for support does not make you any less capable or independent. Instead of looking for another person or organization to rely on, focus on building your own skills and resources so that you can take care of yourself without relying on anyone else. Developing your own job skills and finding employment are key components in becoming self-sufficient. Additionally, seeking out social services such as housing assistance can help provide a safety net while you work towards achieving complete financial independence. It is also important to remember that breaking away from toxic parents does not necessarily mean cutting off all contact with them completely. If it is safe to do so, maintaining some level of communication with your family can be beneficial for both parties involved. This will allow you both to come to terms with the situation and build a healthier relationship moving forward. Ultimately, true independence comes from within oneself rather than from an external source of support or dependency. It takes courage and dedication but it is possible to break free from toxic parents and find real freedom by developing your own skills and resources necessary for self-sufficiency.
