Toxicity can manifest in any kind of relationship, even in families. So, if you see these red flags in your family, run.
impossible, as there is simply no such thing; everyone has their ups and downs. However, to have “good” parents or a “good” family is actually a luxury that many can’t afford. Worse still is that many perceive abuse, in all of its forms, as the norm that must be upheld, even through generations.
Just because they gave birth to you and did all the basics that a parent should do in the first place, that doesn’t entitle them to make you their slave or emotional punching bag. If you believe you are in such a toxic relationship, here are five signals you should look out for so you can get out of Dodge.Words are the best form of communication, but they can often be the deadliest. Like sharp knives, they can cut anything in half.
Conversely, a toxic person would actively defend their stance, often in a violent manner. This could give you some insight into their thought process and give you hints as to whether you should really associate with that kind of person.As a parent, it is normal to want to be close with your child, but there are instances where they want to be too close, to the point where they want to know too much.
Signs of this is that they do not listen to your opinions, oftentimes they deny you the right to have any opinions, they enter and disrupt your safe space or support group, and they will snoop into your phone to check messages, search history, etc. These people will actively cross the line you’ve drawn, repeatedly, and it’s very unlikely they will change that behaviour.The biggest elephant in the room.
Gaslighting describes any interaction where a person or entity manipulates someone into feeling they cannot trust their own memories, feelings, or senses. Oftentimes, the abusers deflect the blame back to their victims or dismiss or downplay their negative actions; phrases such as “I’m just trying to help you” or “It’s you who is selfish – YOU are hurting ME”, are the things you should look out for.
