Cutting off my mom due to her behavior

I struggle with feelings of guilt and anxiety when around her. Her constant negativity and poor hygiene make interactions unbearable.

What I wish I knew
"That cutting her off would lead to long-term emotional relief."
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't hesitate to set boundaries with toxic family members for your own well-being."
