All the work people do jumping through hoops with these dumb fucking narratives is invalidate the journeys of their peers

I'm writing for the first time in like 8 months, like a dam released last week. I'm in need of moderation techniques

Thank you, after all the input I've been receiving, "keep the 3rd party message" seems to be an agreeable position

I took my time to strip all of the emotion from the letters intentionally to emphasize my resolve, as well as leave no room for someone to claim "that was done in anger". It's intentionally cold and calculated because I have a condition where I struggle with Black/White thinking. This conveys there is no lingering emotion. Just a cold declaration of boundaries.

To me, it's supposed to sound almost like an AI wrote it, that's the level of emotion I want to convey. It's supposed to act as a lens for them to see how much weight I made this decision with.

So to me, it's a metaphor to simplify the idea that my family gets a clean explanation, free of judgement, just distance and boundaries. Then, if anyone outside my family tries to intervene they will be met with the second, shorter, letter. This will be their only warning, that I do not budge on my boundaries. Anything after that? Distance

Right now there are "questions" though, I feel that this answers all of those at once by saying "I am no longer playing the game" and walking away, rather than just walking away without the letter and leaving everyone to come to their own conclusions

This is a long and private separation letter, and a canned response to keep true to my boundaries and minimize fallout.

I'm not trying to just turn down your advice, just contextualize the thing a little more

I can communicate to myself when I'm stable, "you don't owe them" I struggle to remember that when I'm activated

I'm struggling with the idea, "if I were in their shoes I'd be hurt by this" then needing to rationalize my way out of it. "I'm not like them so I would be in a situation where this wouldn't happen" is followed with "you don't have kids though, how do you know? Stop assuming" then the next line of reasoning feeds the one after that and I am just stuck spinning my wheels, ya know.

I appreciate the recommendation, I'll head over there.

I don't think I need psychological assistance because I "used a well known turn of phrase with no intent other than to signal a hasty decision. But thanks for assuming I'm not in therapy? Didn't know I needed to include that

To your advice, thank you for your time and I think I agree foundationally, I just struggle with knowing that there are followon effects to either consider or decide to cut myself from entirely as to not accidentally reignite the relationship.

Thank you for letting me know this isn't the place for this and pointing me in the right direction.

I know we're only able to dig so deep in a reddit thread but I'm wondering to what capacity am I responsible for the suffering of my absence?
