What impact do toxic parents have on you as an adult?

Toxic parenting only leaves emotional and mental trauma to me

Honestly nothing but trauma and unforgettable pains and anxiety

Being very distant in any sort of relationship with anyone. Struggling to form bonds.

For me, I grew up with a critical mother and a father who used silent treatment. I never really felt lovable or good enough. I spent almost 40 years chasing career success and educational achievements, thinking they would finally make me feel fulfilled but every time I reached a goal, I still felt empty and lost. It wasn’t until I started therapy that I realized how much of this came from my childhood.

U grow up insecure & blame urself for everything.

It worked two ways : if you are unattached , from childhood you learn to do things your own way you become independent early but still have a dilemma inside or good/bad and being irresponsible towards them , if you are attached to them and kind of try to fix them or care for them , in long run you became mentally exhausted , lack confidence ( because toxicity at home will deprived you of trust ) , and eventually you shall took time to learn things own way . In second case , things could be better if you found good friends , understanding relatives or good caring life partner .

I realized I have become extremely sensitive to criticism because growing up my family would constantly criticize me for the way I talk, the way I look and everything. Even spilling something at a dinner table would turn into this huge huge lecture of how useless I am and never realized how much those little things affected me.

toxic parents can really mess with your head as an adult. things like trust issues, low self-esteem, and repeating their patterns in your own relationships are all super common. it's tough to break free from that cycle.

Do you mean from childhood, or toxic parents near me as a parent myself.

As I am conceived by r***, my entire existence is Hell. I am unable to ever experience love or pleasure, as it's impossible to add them later.

Lack of confidence

Toxic parenting can create toxic kids which grow up to become toxic parents. I imagine it’s a vicious cycle that’s hard to break.

No confidence, bad social skils, anger issues.
