Personal Narrative-Toxic Relationships

When the loser starts cutting off your support they start gaining a lot of control over your life. When my former boyfriend started to cut me off from my friends and family, he did it in a way where I didn't even realize it was happening. He would hang out with my family and me on the weekends and would put me in a position constantly choosing him over my family. My former boyfriend would always put thoughts in my head that they friends weren’t really good for me, that they were spreading lies and rumors. I started to talk less with my friends and started to depend more on him. He did it so well that even my relationship with my parents and sister suffered. Once he started pushing my social support away from me until I was completely dependent on him. He would make it seem as though it was for the

When I entered as a first time student at UB, I was also exiting an abusive relationship that had become violent. I had very little support and lacked financial resources. I began counseling at the counseling center at UB and continued with classes while also working to support myself. I experienced an overwhelming amount of anxiety and felt uncomfortable on campus from the presence of my previous partner who was also a student at UB. My grades slipped and the opportunity to withdraw passed.

"I think the biggest thing that helped me was the support of my friends and family," Cyntrise says. "After leaving a very physically and mentally abusive relationship, I had no where to go, but back home. My parents took me back with open arms and supported me through those very rough years. "

The effects of a bad relationship can lead to many problems in your life. It can lead to bad mental health, attitude problems, loss of people close to you, your physical health, and more.

I have had to deal with adversity a lot in my life. Whether it be losing playing time, or not even getting a fair chance because my family isn’t involved in the program. I’ve faced adversity in more than just sports; I grew up without a dad and it’s gotten to the point where I don’t have a mom either. Although I have had to deal with many hard experiences, I believe it's made me stronger, better person.

She tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, squinting in the direction the crawlers were apparently approaching from, but couldn’t find any sign of movement of all. Not so much as a blade of grass in the wind. Jack shoved her shirt into the back pocket of her jeans anyway, occupying her hands with the battered wood of her bat instead. It would break any day now. “Nah, I’m serious. Ya gotta lay off them damn crazy pills, Dom."

I consider this an accomplishment because ending this relationship helped me to avoid bad situations. Before I ended the toxic relationship my self esteem was considerably low. My “friend” was constantly doing and saying things that would make me feel like I was fat and ugly. This “friend” would convince me to do things, that would cause me to get in trouble because I would always be the one to take the fall. She would also talk ill about me to other people, spread rumours that were not true, and never took up for me. So ending the toxic relationship was an accomplishment because I no longer have to feel bad about myself or get into

The next toxic leader to be discussed was the parish priest at my children’s parochial school. The priest did not support having a school at his parish. Each year was a renewed fight between the parents of the school and the parish priest to keep the doors open. One year he used the aging fire system as a reason to close the school. The parents rallied and financed the replacement of the entire system. Another year he adjusted the teacher’s salaries to be competitive with public school. Most of the teachers were content with their salaries since the majority were retired teachers pulling a pension. They taught at the school because they loved to teach. Salaries jumped from $24 thousand a year to over $60 thousand a year mid school year.

Based on my personal experience and the information that I studied with much scrutiny, I have comparatively came up with the determination that I personally suffered greatly from lack of attachment in my early childhood this in turn affected my sense of worth, and social abilities that should have helped me form healthy relationships with cohorts. Unfortunately, I didn’t have that so I was unable to have compassion, and “play nice” with others.

As I progressed in middle school, teachers noted how distant I was with my peers. They did not see a child was in need, but one who was not engaged in class. They saw me as the problem. The school, in its wisdom, decided in a more clinical fashion, “I did not play well with others”. They sent me to therapy to find out why I, in their view, was not interested in making friends with my classmates. As a child who did not understand the social skills of children, I was put into a place devoid of anyone my age.

I became a much better person. A newer, better, and more grounded version of my self. I experience being alone, and what it means to have ownership in one’s self. The solitary attitude that I adopted not only help me cope with the massive loss, but it also helped me realize that in friendships and romantic relationships, you must be an asset. You can’t be that person’s life, and they can’t be yours. Also, when you left the acting business and started this new and fruitful career, you became a different woman too. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that is when you became “the adult woman you are today”. That change was pivotal in our relationship starting

It 's apparent that not every relationship stands the test of time. In hindsight, it is much easier to see why the relationship needed to end, but during the heat of the moment, emotions make it almost impossible to get out of it, even if you are not happy.
