Tips & Warnings

• Remember that you are never the problem as the toxic person behavior shows that they have unresolved issues of their own they haven't dealt with.
• Despite their negative ways affecting you, if you love them regardless, remind yourself to let the person go and love from a distance. Pray that these type of people will better themselves one day or seek psychological help.
• Never stay with a toxic person who is abusive emotional, mentally or physically. It is bad for your soul and your own health. If children is involved and the person happens to be the mother or father, make sure to set a better environment from the children so they will not deal or pick up the problems from the damaged person.
