Toxic family dynamics are complicated for many reasons.
Psychology has spent decades studying the most detrimental family dynamics and how they negatively impact you over time.

Becoming an adult too soon, becoming a parent, or becoming a spouse can lead to years of relationship difficulties, disatisfaction with life, and confusion about your own identity.

Parentification, spousification, and adultification are 3 very detrimental experiences when a child must maintain these roles indefinitely and for some reason they didn't expect.

Toxic family dynamics can push you into the worst experiences of your life.

In this live chat, I discuss the psychology of parentification, spousification, and adultification.
