How do you let go of a toxic family member?

I recently got rid of my only sibling, a sick, toxic, mentally ill person. I'm not going into a song and dance here. She finally plucked my last nerve and the fight became nuclear, destroying everything. What's left is just some radioactive fallout that will quickly dissipate. Cue 'I'm Free' by The Who. FREE!
I made it clear in no uncertain terms that I don't ever want to see her, hear from her, hear about her ever again. Stick a fork in me because I am DONE.
I am FREE!
No you aren't nuts! Do whatever you have to to protect yourself. Draw the boundary and stick to it no matter what.
God bless.

Agree 100% with this post. My elderly father can send emails but can no longer call. My brother can call me but does not. I was the scapegoat my brother the golden child my father has narcissitc traits. I had to take responsibilty for myself too of course but that included keeping unsafe people away and learning to be able to ID them.
