The best way to take control of your mental health when other individuals are bringing toxic behaviors, decisions, and beliefs into your life, or if they are allowing outsiders to do so as their spouse, friend, etc., is to let them all go. 

Going no-contact. Completely detach yourself from the person and the individual(s) they bring into your life who are toxic,  negative, emotionally immature, and complicit in the harmful and disruptive drama. 

That means no social media stalking, no texting, no calling, no talking about them unless it’s with your professional mental health provider. Zero contact. 100% detox. 

Decide to cut all ties completely and leave if you safely can. 

Take your power back. Your daily life back. Your day-to-day peaceful existence back. Your family back. 

The loss will hurt and you will grieve and mourn it. Work through this with a trusted professional.

You will sleep and live more peacefully and without the stress or trauma that they are bringing into your life. This alone will serve your mental health in a much more positive way. 

100% no contact is for your mental health, not to manipulate or to punish anyone. It gives your brain and your central nervous system time to heal and return to their baseline. You deserve that.
