Toxic family members are not a new thing in society. As human beings, our purpose is to serve and show compassion and the will to help, care and love others. It is from these natural traits that people get into relationships. As some relationships develop, the expectations and hopes fade into nothingness. What remains is the commitment and the material benefits, which are in most cases close to nothing. The most painful toxic relationship is that which occurs amongst family members. This is when relatives do not talk to each other, and they despise one another as if they are not of the same blood. Some even prefer to help strangers other than their own. The big question is on the causation of such behaviors amongst blood relations.
Through conversing with people from all walks of life, I have gathered information on the causes of toxic family relationships. Some attribute the conflicts that lead to toxicity to covetousness. As we all know, it’s very much common and possible that we all can never be equal despite being of the same blood. Social, financial and academic aspects of our lives differ from one family member to another. Whilst some have accepted this as the norm, some are finding it hard to accept this reality such that they end up being jealous of the ones ahead of them. Instead of being happy to see others level up and applauding for them, the raging spirit of jealousy envelops them. They begin to exude negative vibes that can result in them being toxic to their successful family members.
