This is always hard. It's one thing to say "adios" to "friends" who are assholes. It's something else to realize the people who raised you are so flawed that your interactions with them simply aren't healthy. Tough man, sorry to hear you were even in a position where that thought crossed your mind.

Yeah, we raced together for 10+ years, but everything I did in life was always wrong and he was usually an ass about it. Sound like anyone you know? I've gotten a lot better (still love to troll here), but I've got a ways to go in eliminating the behavior I was taught.
FWIW, the last year has been liberating.
