SIGNS OF A TOXIC FAMILY:
1) NOTHING YOU CAN SAY OR DO IS GOOD ENOUGH.
2) THEY COMMENT ON THE SMALLEST FLAW OR PERCEIVED IMPERFECTION.
3) THEY DRAG UP YOUR PAST AND WON'T ALLOW YOU TO BE DIFFERENT.
4) THEY ACT LIKE THEY ARE ABOVE YOU AND NEVER MAKE MISTAKES.
5) THEY MAKE YOU FEEL GUILTY AND ASHAMED OF WHO YOU ARE.
6) THEY ARE CRITICAL, CONTROLLING AND DON'T THINK ABOUT YOUR NEEDS.
7) THEY LEAVE YOU FEELING BEATEN, WOUNDED, BATTERED, BRUISED AND TORN.
8) THEY VIOLATE OUR BOUNDARIES AND THEY NEVER RESPECT, " NO...".
9) THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU AND THEY LOVE TO SEE YOU SUFFER.
10) IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT THEM, AND WHAT THEY THINK, WANT AND FEEL.
