Toxicity!

            Dysfunctional relationships occur when arguments, sadness, and lack of trust in one another is more common than healthy components such as being each others best friend, having loyalty, and being compassionate with one another. Yet, toxic relationships while similar have their own unique characteristics. Toxic relationships happen when one person in the relationship tries making constant demands, tearing you down, and trying to be superior over you. Most are involving physical, mental, financial, and even isolation problems. All relationships can be hard to maintain, but toxic relationships can become unbearable. Often times the questions surrounding the toxic relationship are: How can you not see it? How can you not identify the most obvious and heartbreaking signs? Maybe it is because they aren’t always that obvious. Sometimes the victim becomes so accustomed to the way they are treated that they become numb to the effects. When the victim does say something about it most abusers accuse the victim of blowing it out of proportion because they can’t accept the responsibility of their actions. That is because they have a personality disorder; making the types of people in relationships even more diverse. It can be very difficult to identify the signs because there are so many different categories within relationships and types of people within those relationships. Almost every relationship starts out with intimate connections with someone considered special. Some are lucky and achieve their wish; to find their prince or princess and share each others happiness. Others get caught up in a horrible downward spiral of nearly the complete opposite.
