I have to second Alothia here. If the rp or person behind the character causes you anxiety on an ooc level I think it's more than justified to cut ties in any way you see fit. It's simply not worth it. In my case I'm a horrendous coward and tend to just run away and hide until things blow over but I wouldn't hesitate to cut somebody out of my rp no matter what the ic relationship might be if it was affecting my state of mind. I've tried to roll with it too many times in the past, and it's just not worth the stress.
