Some complex trauma survivors have endured many years of domestic violence and been in relationships with toxic people- where they never received love, care, thoughfulness, kindness, honesty, or being treated with dignity or respect.
Many endure ongoing abuse and being treated like an object.
It's soul destroying.
I have nothing but compassion for the next victims.
I hope they work the toxic person out quickly and get out quickly.
Good, kind people deserve the self respect and self worth to only tolerate being loved, safety, kindness, dignity and respect.

Many complex trauma survivors have been abused in toxic families and/or had relationships with toxic abusive people and have children with them.
We need self compassion for how we adapted and coped with the abuse, because we were/are enduring trauma that should never have been inflicted on us.
At some point, we need to look at how the abuser is keeping us locked in that trauma and what we can do to change.
It takes time and we need patience with ourselves, but try to keep moving towards removing toxicity and not engagjng with it, or trying to 'keep the peace'. There is no 'keeping the peace with toxic people'. They are simply manipulating us to control us.
We must know toxic people are not our responsibility to save or fix.
And we must know - that family is meant to be about love, safety, trust, care and respect.
We deserve healthy families and need strong boundaries from those who are not healthy, who continue to cause harm, who negatively impact our lives and don't show us respect, care and dignity.
And in doing this we increase our self worth and positivity impact our well-being. .
