Have you ever gone no contact with your family? how was it?
i'm thinking about doing this but at times i have doubts. my family is horrible to me. i am the scapegoat in my family. the thought of starting a new life without them makes me feel so peaceful but at times i am not so sure. so i want to know how other people's experience has been.

Yes and I gave them a second chance which they blew worse than when I originally stopped all contact. This time there's no more chance, it's permanent!

I once had a restraining order on my mother. It was immediate freedom.
Of course at first you are sad and doubt your choice. But, your strength depends on how much you really want to escape.
At times it will be challenging and you'll start to reflect, and mostly think about all the 'good' things that you've experienced with them. However, keep in mind the reason you have for wanting to leave, and whether or not it is worth putting up with the things that pushed you away for the seemingly rare good times.Like (2)

thnx for the advice. i am so depressed it's hard to stay motivated but i do want to leave really bad. i have to lift my own spirit up and believe in my self. thats sad that it had to get to you needing a restraining order to protect yourself from your mom. best wishes xoxo

Thank you, much appreciated. As long as you can be self-reliant and financially supported to be able to get away then you should have no immediate problem. I wish you luck :) And with the motivation thing I know it feels as if you have high hopes for so many things and it feels as if it will never happen BUT just keep on reminding yourself 'One day...' that's all it takes is 'one day... I can do anything'. Although it may seem so far away and it may take some time it will eventually happen :)
