Growing up with toxic parents or in a painful family environment can leave lasting wounds. Many adult children of toxic parents struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, guilt, or difficulties in relationships. You may find yourself people-pleasing, second-guessing your choices, or feeling like you’re “never enough.” The truth is—you are not broken, and healing is possible.
