Beware of repeating toxic patterns with others

You didn’t choose the family you were raised in, but you can make sure you don't invite new toxic influences into your life by assuming the poor ways they treat you are acceptable. If one or both parents who raised you exhibited significantly unhealthy traits, your ability to assess red flags in the people you meet will be negatively impacted. Without true insight on how our family environment created relational blind spots, we run a high risk of repeating toxic patterns from childhood, these could include people pleasing tendencies, controlling your anger and emotionally unavailable.
