I think we have all had experiences where we need to sacrifice either our comfort, journey, or even a friendship or relationship for ourselves, not because we want to, but because we need to for our growth. Not everyone has the mind or courage to make decisions like this, but at a point in life when we feel stuck or when everything feels stagnant, we have to make decisions like this so we won't be left behind.
Life is hard, but carrying too much weight and burden can make it even worse and harder. There are times I have to cut off friendships for my growth, not because I want to, but because I need to, especially when I have to visualise every outcome with such friendships or family bonds.
Family bond is one of the strongest bonds we can ever experience. I can never advice anyone to let go of his or her family regardless of what ever they have done or what every decisions they have made, but one thing is certain which is that which is that, we wil all get to a certain point or position in our lives where we will have to stand for ourselfs and make decisions for our own selfs i know this might sound akward but this is the deepest truth, there are some times i have and my family calls bme for help but i wont support not because i dotn want to support but becasue it will affect me at that situation so i have to stand up for myself and i know them too well, when everything goes bad, we will ahev to make decisons for ourselfs.
I won't suggest letting go is an option or decision we should take for our family, but not carrying too much pressure on our heads is a good decision we should learn to make for ourself's. Life sometimes might want to tell us to let go, or even people who had a bad family background will tell you that family pressure is not important, but the truth is, they are important. Each day i seat down to look back all the journey and encounter i have been through i remember how much i need to put to work to make things workout for us, i remember i was very stubborn when i was a kid and my mum never angered at me or even my dad instead they supported me and also correct me in their own possible way which i will always be grateful for till that because it take a lot to raising a child and i will even support their will every time.
I wouldn't advise anyone to let go of family because they are all you've got and they supported you till date, but when it comes to toxic friends, then we can say you need to let go or even relationships that give us pressure, we need to let go of such for our mental health and for growth.
