Are you wondering if you have toxic parents? Or if you were raised by a toxic parent? Unfortunately, toxic parents may not realize their mistakes until the mistakes are too late. Regardless, whether or not a parent is purposely being toxic, there are several behaviors that can cause an emotional trauma later on. Do you think you might have a toxic mom or a toxic dad? Then this video is for you. Do note, not all parents are perfect, but your parents will still try their best and want to be the best for you if they can.
