I am scared of some of my relatives. Some of them are very verbally abusive and I am scared of them.

I'm scared of some of mine, but they are NUTS. They belong in looney bins.

Like SCARED scared, or you'd just prefer to keep your distance?

It's fine to stay away from the negative people in your life. You don't have to let them talk to you that way. Do you live with these people?

I'm sorry you have to deal with negativity. No one deserves that.

Maybe they keep doing it because you keep tolerating it. Can you put your foot down or do you think it'll make things worse? If you don't live with them, it's time to put down the ban hammer.

Some of mine are really moody and confrontational. I would say scary too.

It's hard when youre an adult and you have to choose between tolerating and or feeling guilty for leaving.

I keep on going because I don't think it would be right to walk away.

I keep on going because I don't think it would be right to walk away. You mean you wouldn't ever cut ties with them completely?

Exactly. I can be a people pleaser. I'd rather keep trying different ways to get them to say nicer things.

Consider that it's not your fault, might be nothing you did, and they're just set in their stubborn ways.

If I can one day process "not my fault" I'd be in a better place emotionally.

Only blame yourself if you actually did something wrong to them. Don't LOOK for things to pin on yourself. Don't look for reasons for their behavior. There might be not logic to their behavior.
