The parent-child relationship is one of the most important relationships for a child. And many times parents don’t even realize that they are toxic to their kids. Although all parents want only good things for their kids but end up being too strict about it.
Here are signs that prove you have a toxic relationship with your parents.
1) They become controlling
If your parents are controlling your every decision, what to do, what not to do, what you should study, watch or wear, every single decision they make about your life even after you are mature enough. This is the behavior of a toxic relationship.
2) Lack of empathy
Often toxic parents lack empathy and could not monitor how their actions are affecting their kids. And if you try telling them things that hurt them which they said, parents ignore this or do not get bothered about it.
3) They ignore your boundaries
Freedom is a must in any relationship which they often forget or do not give importance to. This includes that your parents are doing things you told them not to do for them or talking about things that bother you.
4) Comparing with others
If your parents are toxic they will often and every time compare you with someone who is doing great or who looks great and demotivate you.
5) Silent treatment
Many times parents stop talking to their kids out of anger which makes the kids beg for pardon even when they are not at fault.
6) Verbal and Physical abuse
This behavior is extremely wrong. Parents beat up their kids out of anger or habit which is not right at all. And this reduces a child’s energy and makes them stressed and dull.
7) Toxic jokes
Your parents many times make you feel guilty and crack jokes about you which are rather demeaning or destroy your image.
