Is Your Family Toxic? 

You’ve probably heard the term “toxic” as it applies to relationships. What does it mean? A toxin is a poisonous substance that can harm our health. Toxic substances make us sick. Some toxins can be lethal in certain amounts.  

Can a relationship or a communication dynamic be toxic? It can if whatever is being expressed out loud or communicated nonverbally would harm a person’s mental health.

In some ways, many of us are well aware of high toxicity levels in how we engage with people who are close to us. Intimate relationships, such as those shared with committed partners and family members, tend to be the most toxic of all. But then, weirdly, many of us feel inexplicably drawn to unhealthy or toxic relationships. Why is this?

One theory about our propensity for becoming entrenched in toxic relationships is that the negative dynamic feels familiar to us; therefore, it’s what we attract and are drawn to. If a lot of what you experienced growing up could be considered damaging to self esteem to some degree, then “toxic” is probably your normal.


What typically goes on in a toxic family environment? 

Narcissism. A self-centered parent may be at the center of all family interplay. Narcissistic people have boundary issues. They don’t know where they end and another person begins, therefore they tend to be all take and no give when it comes to relationships.

Control. One or both parents might act as the puppeteers, using various forms of manipulation to dominate and control other family members.

Mistrust. In healthy relationships, a sense of safety and trust presides. Partners and family members feel comfortable sharing their true thoughts, expressing feelings and just being genuine. This doesn’t happen in families where a toxic, mistrustful dynamic prevails.

Guilting and blaming. A perpetual feeling of always being blamed is the hallmark of a toxic family.

Oddly, people who have been conditioned for relationships that are characterized by chronic insults, lack of respect and absence of boundaries will typically feel like something is wrong or off when someone is nice to them. Their emotional and psychological match is negativity, and that’s why dysfunction in relationships feel right despite being wrong.

For someone who grew up with blaming, shaming, scapegoating and daily put-downs, it is difficult to be welcoming toward loving gestures. Supportive words can feel so strange and foreign that we actively avoid them, which perpetuates the cycle of being stuck in an unhappy situation or going from one toxic relationship to another.

If you have been that person who can’t seem to feel attraction for that “too nice” guy or girl, then you likely had somewhat of a toxic family dynamic growing up. Negative and difficult may just be the expected way. When someone shows you support, manners, courtesy and respect, you just can’t seem to muster up excitement or enthusiasm for it. The good news is that with some self exploration, you can change that. In doing so, you may finally reach the level of comfort, trust and understanding that you so desperately crave.

Some Families Are More Toxic Than Others

How toxic is your family? Very toxic? A little toxic? Not toxic at all? No family is without flaws, after all we are only human.
No one can be expected to achieve perfection in their communication and behavior toward others. We all have bad days and grumpy moments. Sometimes we might be a little mean or rude – but is that toxic, or is it just normal and expected?

It’s difficult to determine just how “toxic” one family might be as compared to another. One reason for the difficulty is that each person has his or her own idea about what is offensive, and how people should act, speak and behave toward each other.

In one family, there may be a rule against using profane language. In a different family, people cuss and swear freely. But if one of these families is considered toxic, should we just automatically assume that it’s the family of people who use curse words on a routine basis? Maybe not.
