Older Siblings, Finally Escaping Their Toxic Family and Moving Out

[teresamccarron]

My older sister wanted to move out of our EXTREMELY toxic house. I was crying on the floor because they were the only one who was nice and didnt just me by looks or weight. Took one look at me bawling, picked me up and said "yeah- youre coming with me." I cut off contanct with my parents. I love her.

As a younger sibling, this hits hard. My older sis had to do the same. I didn't understand in the beginning, but once I realized how bad our family is...I did. She still takes me and my brother places far away from our house. I will always be grateful for the time she spends with us.

I moved out of my toxic home with my father, and my little sister is 3 but seeing my mom yell at her and her saying "Mommy be happy! Mommy be happy please..." makes me cry

I was that older kid. I raised my little brother because our mother was neglectful but I knew if I stayed there after I turned 18 I wouldn't survive. This hits hard. I saw him today and almost bawled my eyes out.

My step sister left when I was 14 and didn’t even tell me bc I was on a trip..she just left a note. We still keep in contact and I’m immensely grateful for her everyday.

This hits home, my sister moved out at 17 across the world, but fought to become my legal guardian and get me out of there when I turned 16 and she did, it was 4 years of hell before I turned 16 but I'll never forget the relief when I saw her show up to get me out of there, what she did for me will stick with me forever ❤️

I'm bawling my eyes out. I am the youngest, but my family isn't toxic at all. It's hard for me to believe that a ton of people have a toxic *family*

Every child deserves a parent, but not all parents deserve a child.

as a younger sibling, that’s exactly how i feel. i’m so glad they were able to get out there, and now they’re absolutely thriving and it wonderful to see, but i’m still stuck here, and it’s lonelier than ever

I had this friend who did have a toxic family, and when she left, she brought her 3 younger siblings and fought to be their guardian. True hero

All of these comments are so sad, and everyone is so kind, trying to help the people who had to go through a situation like in the video. Thank you. I’m so sorry for what everyone had to go through.

this hit me hard…our household isn’t necessarily “toxic” but it isn’t the greatest. I’m the oldest and will be moving out in a few years and I’m scared that my little sisters will have to deal with my mom on their own. however, she’s a lot different to them than to me. Like some things they can do we’re things my mom won’t let me do (for example: my little sisters got to go to a birthday party today, they’re super young. my mom hasn’t really started to let me go to my friends parties and I’ll be 16 soon.)

To everyone replying to this, my love goes out to y’all. Seriously, I know it’s hard living in a household that’s toxic and may not always feel like home. It’s even harder to leave if you have younger siblings or just siblings in general. Stay safe out there🩷🫶🫶

"Get over here, pipsqueak. You're coming with me!"
- older sibling, idk when

"In a while, crocodile." I still miss my brother

It's so hard when siblings leave, even if it's for the best. The bond between siblings is so strong.

As the oldest sibling this was honestly the hardest decision I've made. I spoke to my therapist about how I both needed to get out but that if I left then there's nothing to protect my younger siblings. But as many people said in this comment section, you can't help someone swim if you're drowning too.

When I'm moving out they coming with me.

No soldiers left behind. ❤

I'm supporting some one going through this right now... I understand how hard it is.

I’m 18, and my family has been toxic since I was little. My father was emotionally and verbally abusive and my mother was distant. I took the brunt of it, besides my mom. As I aged, I never tried to run. Because I have four little siblings to take care of. So instead I introduced them to therapy, specifically my mom, who then made my dad participate. They’ve actually started to improve, and I am so proud of them. I know this doesn’t work with every family, but im happy I was able to help them before my brothers had to go through what I did.

Edit: Holly cow guys, thank you for all the love!! Y’all are the best 💕
