The family is supposed to be a safe haven, but at times, it's the place where you find the deepest headache.
Having a sibling is a wonderful thing. But when someone you share blood with makes your life difficult through certain toxic behaviours, then it's not worth it.
Here are signs that you and your siblings have a toxic relationship:
1. They'll always use you but give nothing in return
Has it ever occurred to you that your brother or sister never calls or texts you until when they're in a financial fix and they need someone to bail them out?
If your answer is yes, you guys are not enjoying the right relationship.
They tend to reach out to their siblings because they know the family will hardly say "no", no matter what.
If you say "no" they will make you feel bad or guilty for the rest of your life.
2. They're always criticising you and the decisions you make
This criticism never comes from a place of love.
They constantly strive to make you feel like you're dumb and nothing meaningful ever comes from your mouth.
In fact, they usually kill your ideas even before you share them.
If your siblings constantly make you feel bad and shower you with negative criticism all the time, just know your relationship is toxic.
3. They will never apologise when they're wrong
If you wrong them, you have to say sorry a thousand times. But when they wrong you, you will never hear a single apology coming out their mouths.
They never express remorse. It's a foreign word to them.
