The author of this storyexperienced such mistreatmentat the hands of her adoptive parents.

However, her experiences growing up may have altered her brain structure negatively.
In an article forVery Well Mind, clinical psychologistDr.
Dr. Holmes also pointed out thatmistreatmentcan lead to a lower volume in the prefrontal cortex for children.
This region of the brain is responsible for emotional balance and perception.
Yet, she endured bullying because of it.
According to author and psychologistDr.
Lindsay Gibson, that alone is a valid enough reason to cut ties.
Once the person becomes aware of the mistreatment, going no-contact becomes an acceptable course of action.
As Dr. Gibson stated, internal growth makes people realize what they can no longer tolerate.
Its the same for peoplewhose negative experiencesfar outweigh positive ones.
Nobody arrives at the point of estrangement on a whim, she said.
The last straw would be her siblings piling on her with gaslighting and manipulation.
She did the right thing by keeping her distance, possibly for good.
