Not all generosity/altruism is necessarily good, especially when coming from a toxic family member.

In this episode, we are going to talk about the emotional game of “Toxic Giving” that toxic family members play.


✅ Most of you have that one family member who always presented as if they were happy to help you out of a jam, but who always did so with strings attached.

✅ These family members view themselves as having special “abilities” or “gifts” and expect you and all others to react to them as though they are the most caring, generous, people you know.

✅ Toxic givers have the audacity to view your openly accepting what they give as you taking advantage of them, yet when/if you refuse their gifts, they call you heartless.

✅ The emotional game of Toxic Giving/Generosity is built on dishonesty, hypocrisy and misrepresentation because these family members actually resent the same people they serve, and this includes you!

✅ Ironically, the closer you are to these family members, the more resentful they feel when giving or doing anything for you.
