“When a parent is unrelentingly toxic, hearing even a few words from them can trigger the survivor into an intense emotional flashback.
I have worked with numerous clients who made very little progress in their recovery while they maintained contact with the toxic parent[ s].
For this reason, such clients usually require a parentdectomy to progress.
There is a classic book by Bob Hoffman on this topic entitled Getting Divorced from Mother & Dad.

My two cents: I asked for help from my family first, when that failed, I distanced myself.
Healing was impossible with their meddling.
Now, I am disowned but healed.
I am fine with that arrangement .
Hopefully, you will be also.
