Today, I had to break off all contact with my toxic ex and my even more toxic adult daughter, for my mental health and suicidal urges. My elderly parents, who don’t think mental health is a thing, not only took their side, they’re taking me out of their will and putting my daughter in. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my ex-wife has teamed up with my ex-girlfriend. Both are mentally ill. I have to have another custody fight and dispel lies because of their delusions. I just want to be left in peace. Instead, I have to have a death match for my 6 year-old daughter. Why does it have to be her or me? Why can’t it be both? FML
Today, my parents finally decided to get a divorce. The catch? I'm on my step-dad's insurance and without it, I will no longer be able to receive my absolutely crucial mental health medication, on which, no exaggeration, my life depends upon. I'm cooked. FML
Today, I finally left my bitch girlfriend with her son, who has difficulties and violence issues. Now everyone is telling me I should go back, because the kid needs a father, never mind that I’m depressed and in therapy for suicidal urges. Guess my mental health doesn’t matter. FML
Today, I'm struggling with my mental and emotional health, as well as my marriage. Our 25 year-old daughter, who is failing at adulting, wants to move back in after only being gone for slightly over a year. I love my child, but she's a nightmare to live with. I'm gonna run away from home. FML
Today, my daughter told me she wanted to divorce me. FML
Today, my eldest daughter has 'officially' removed herself from our family and will no longer communicate with any of us. Apparently it's my fault that her younger sister is having a baby before her, and she can't be part of a family that 'treats her so unfairly'. FML
Today, my crazy drug-addict mother kicked me out of the house after siding with my crazy, drug-addict aunt, who'd just threatened to slit my throat. FML
Today, we recently had to unplug our mom from life support. We decided it together as a family, but as her medical proxy, I was the one who had to tell the hospital to do it. Now half my family members don’t talk to me, like I decided all on my own to kill her behind their backs. I want my mom back. FML
Today, I’m devastated that I had to completely sever all ties with my mother. She’s a hyper religious zealot who’s gone as far as to threaten to kidnap my children in order to get them baptized after I refused to raise them in her archaic, abusive, oppressive cult-like “church”. FML
Today, I escaped an abusive relationship, only for him to manipulate my family into thinking i’m crazy. FML

I don't get the ideology that everyone is just mentally well all the time.

Don’t sweat the will. Unless your parents are particularly wealthy, it’s not likely there will be that much to inherit once they both pass. Now you are completely free from their control… Mental health is a thing and many of us know that first hand. Counselors, psychologists, or a psychiatrist can help you dealing with depression. Staying as far away as possible from jerks who would emotionally abuse you will also help.

We might be getting into the "What is true" dimension here but when everyone in a story is toxic apart from the person telling the story I get suspicious.

Cutting all ties with your toxic ex sounds like a no brainer. Cutting all ties with your daughter, adult or not is very much damaging to both you and her. We don't know the whole story, but most of the time if a child is toxic to the parents it's something that the parent did during their growing up stage. I don't believe that once a kid is a adult the parent does not bare responsibility anymore. Especially that for a lot of people 18-22 is still closer to young adult than full fledge adult. My suggestion include your daughter in your therapy, grow together and develop a good healthy relation. Might be hard, but you'll be forever happy for doing so

I suggest I group session with a therapist, including your parents. maybe then they'll get it.
