It is not your duty to keep ties with people.
Your duty is to bring human welfare to the world, and to do so you must detach from people who work like an anchor and sinks you into disgrace, and join those who make you to grow.
In the long term it is the best option for you and your loved ones.

I still go between being angry for a while (see other thread) and then feeling fine, but I saw I was deliberately holding myself back. "What if I succeed after all this?" |
Your mission in life is not to be abused.
Being a victim of abuse is a distraction.
It causes you to lose your time with suffering.
You may feel sad one day or two (like me right now) but that's an isolated event.
But if the problem is persistent, probably you need to detach from abusers.
If you ally abusers, you learn abuse and you spread abuse.
If you ally those who cause you to grow, you will spread growth and good.
The decision is yours and it will be a tough one at the beginning.
