Dealing with Family Anger & my Self-Esteem

The women in my family have always been highly mentally abusive and, on occasion, physically. I was a total doormat and they took advantage. I’ve moved on in my life location-wise finally, but their constant criticisms, emasculation and homophobia have left a deep imprint and have effected my self-esteem in a really negative way. I feel like I still need their approval to feel good about myself and also sometimes I want to call them up, air all the family dirty laundry and tell them what oppressive fucking cunts they are. What should I do to get out of this cycle?

((Hugs))) OP

I had a similar situation. I cut them off completely.
