Advice/Questions Advice on cutting ties

As I've been working through my departure and working through the harm, I keep thinking about a fresh start and not including family (still members). I'm considering a brand new identity and wondered if anyone here has gone through something like that.

Because of the complexity of things, I now have cPTSD, am disabled, and now that I'm in therapy trying to heal, I am having a hard time seeing any use in keeping in touch. My family ignored the signs of it as a child despite my teachers questioning abuse. Any experience on the best ways to cut all ties with that life (including family)? Any tips on subtle things to be aware of so I can prevent boundary violations? Any information that could help me decide what's worth doing and what's just a waste of time is greatly appreciated.

Your post doesn’t offer much information. Are you asking for tips on leaving or changing identity? If you were able to relocate to another part of the country are you worried they would come after you?
