It's crucial not to downplay the reality of harmful relationships. We're called to love our enemies, yes, but that doesn't mean ignoring the toxicity. Recognize that love in such relationships looks vastly different from healthy ones.
When interacting with toxic family members, be aware that you're stepping into a potentially harmful arena. Our bodies often signal this instinctively, but we must also engage our higher faculties for protection.
Prepare yourself beforehand – rest, meditate, pray, or seek support from a trusted individual. Remember, your safety is paramount. Acknowledge the truth of the situation and prioritize your well-being. You are worthy of protection.
