Quotes to ponder:
"When you know the weapons these toxic family members have in their arsenal, they can’t use them to hurt you anymore."
"They love it when they know they can push your buttons and get you all fired up, so don’t let them."
"You DON’T need their approval. You DON’T need their kindness. And you DON’T need their love. You have all that within yourself, you just have to remember what’s already there."
