There is no way around it Even when you leave them and find another home elsewhere You're still carrying the weight of emotional baggage that scars you for life Healing comes from a place of understanding So if you grew up from a toxic background, we want to shed light on patterns and situations that are hard to understand Here are six side effects of toxic parenting Number one you have a higher risk of developing an anxiety disorder When you grow up in a dysfunctional family, you're at a higher risk of developing an anxiety disorder according to a study done in 1998 Researchers discovered that people who are exposed to toxic parenting on a daily basis are more likely to develop generalized anxiety disorder regardless of whether they were young or in their adulthood out of the 940 adults who participated in the study researchers found that factors such as income education and country of origin had no Impact on whether they would develop anxiety, but the element of toxic parenting did Number two you may suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD The more abusive your parents are whether it's emotional or physical the more likely you are to suffer from PTSD Abuse causes people to be more alert and under toes because they anticipate more danger in the future This leads to chronic anxiety memories of abuse playing repeatedly Emotional numbing and not being able to see the future because they are afraid they cannot escape the present danger number three you may be highly self-critical and blame yourself for everything if You are a highly sensitive person then you may have grown up sacrificing your self-esteem for love Parents who exercise conditional love will make their kids feel like they're not worthy of love as a result They're often pressured to prove themselves if they make a mistake or do something that upsets their parents They will be highly self-critical and blame themselves but This is how they remain hopeful when kids believe that Once they fix something about themselves or get better at something then maybe their parents will start treating them better number four you're more likely to experience health problems According to a study done in 1985 Researchers discovered that those who are in dysfunctional relationships were at a higher risk of developing heart problems Compared to those who didn't grow up in toxic families The chronic stress your experience from toxic parenting can also affect your immune system Psychologist Dr. Ramani Dravasula Stated that constant arguing and disagreements in close relationships can weaken your immune system The more tension and abuse kids experience from their toxic parents the more likely they can get sick Number five you have a hard time saying no because your boundaries weren't respected When you grow up in a dysfunctional household Boundaries are non-existent because they're often crossed if you grew up with a narcissistic or alcoholic parent This is especially the case Perhaps they often depended on you to take care of things around the house or maybe they never respected your individuality because they always Saw you as their own personal product It's hard to say no when you're not allowed to have control over your life and finally number six You may develop an insecure attachment that affects your relationships growing up with toxic parents can influence you to seek comfort and love elsewhere or it can cause you to fear relationships when you've developed trust issues Insecure attachment forms in two forms anxious and avoidant Anxious attachment is when the individual latches on to someone strongly They feel as though they have to constantly prove their own worth and chase after the person Avoidant attachment on the other hand is when the individual becomes self-reliant and Refuses to depend on or let others in When you grow up with toxic parents It colors and affects the relationships you find yourself in Are you experiencing any of these side effects from toxic parenting?
