Telling me I should forgive/contact my abusive exfamily. Especially after knowing me for less than 30 mins and them not at all.

"But family is so important!" You go talk to them then, or go fuck yourself, IDC.

There have been many instances when I've told someone how crazy people in my family are, and then even if they believed me, after they met them they're like "OMG I had no idea it was that bad."

You have to know that there are some extremely shitty people in the world. Sometimes, those people are someone's family.

Yeah. And when you really know next to nothing about the situation maybe let the people who've been dealing with it for literally all their lives decide.
