I have a toxic relative I want to cut out, but her daughter would be lost to me too. Is it worth it?

My only remaining cousin is a NIGHTMARE. Ive put up with her only because her sister was my best friend until she passed a couple of years ago. I can't take it anymore and I feel my pal would be sad to know I deal with her sister only to honor her memory. Enough time has passed I think, but I would no longer be in touch with this jerks child, is that fair to her?

how old is the child? There is always a way, you just have to find it... I love going to the zoo, so I "borrow" a friends child to go, and enjoy it with me... or a movie... be creative...

Leave her. It is not your duty to have relations with your toxic relative.
