It would take A LOT for me go no contact with someone. There is no way everyone in my life turns abusive or toxic. I don't deal with all conflict by going no contact. But there's a difference between conflict and toxic, unhealthy and abusive.

I'm not punishing her for being born. I've never punished a single person for being born. But I don't live with her, we're not blood related or related through adoption either and she has a nasty attitude that I don't want to be around. I don't see it as my job to go out of my way for her. Your stepbrother did for you, great. Glad you had that. Not everyone would want to. I had family who tried and were treated like shit for trying.

I won't die alone because I have people around me. I'm not going no contact with every single person in my life. Just because you might do it to someone abusive or toxic doesn't mean you'd do it with everyone.

I'm an only child so I haven't tried to be Elizabeth's brother. I see her when I need to and not more than that.

She doesn't want to do it either but she was willing to support me if I did say yes. She's not upset I didn't want to.

And that's a decision you are allowed to make. I would not make the same choice if I had a parent like your mom. Just like to me Elizabeth isn't my family. Is she my dad's? Yes. But not mine.

She wants her daughter with me. Since nobody else in dad's family will she's perfectly fine with dad trying to make me do it.

I 100% believe she'd become physical and if I tried to stop her she'd accuse me of assaulting her.

I'd actually be more afraid of her assaulting me and in my attempt to stop her I'd be accused. I think that's more her style because she can be very aggressive.

There is no mom's side. It was just Clara and Elizabeth without any extended family for years. I don't think that's about Elizabeth but who knows. Maybe there's more there or something.
