You feel the tension in your chest and the lies in the air. But when you try to bring it up, you are called "crazy" and gaslit into feeling like the bad guy. If you can relate to this, you may have been born into a dysfunctional family. This most likely suggests that you are no stranger to toxic behaviors like one-sided affection, micromanaging, and perfectionism. No family is flawless, but this doesn't mean you should simply ignore your gut feelings or write off the people you care about. Your relationship with them can be saved. All you need are a few tools to create a safe and healthy environment, which starts with defining realistic boundaries.
