According to www.psychologytoday.com a toxic relationship is characterized by having insecurity, abuse of power and control, demandingness, selfishness, insecurity, self-centeredness, criticism, negativity, dishonesty, distrust, demeaning comments and attitudes, and jealousy.  But they also state that a healthy relationship is characterized by having compassion, security, safety, freedom of thinking, sharing, listening, mutual love and caring, healthy debates and disagreements, and respectfulness, especially when there are differences in opinions. This connects to my life because I need to know the difference betweeen a good and a bad relationship so I can be aware of the people who are bringing me down.

According to www.mydomaine.com when trying to get out of the relationship you must make a game plan on how you are planning to leave then, talk with your partner if the relationship is not abusive or harmful and see if they are willing to fix it. Next you need to tell family and close friends for support, then work on your self-esteem, save as much money as you can for when you leave but if your partner is being abusive record every incident and take pictures to have proof later on that could be used in a courtroom. But you can also end a toxic relationship in a peaceful way by accepting responsibility, surrounding yourself with good people, be objective with the relationship, identity and express your emotions.  But also you have to know when it’s time to leave and that’s never easy and when your going to leave you have to make sure you are not going to go back to that person  no matter what they say to you because it is toxic and things need to change and that will start once you leave that person.

You can talk to your parents or someone else’s if you can’t talk to yours, a trusted person, a professional like a psychologist who can help you with any problems and find a way to escape the relationship and who can help you heal after with all of things you could have gone through. You can also find support groups after you have gotten out of the relationship so you have people who relate to you and can help you with what you are going through and knowing that you are not alone. This connects to my life so I know who I can talk to and where I can find help and know that it is with the right people who know what they are going to help and get me out of my situation.
