Why do families feel the need to encourage relationships with toxic individuals? The reason this has been on my mind is because my family lives in a world full of denial. The deep dark family secret: we were all abused by a pedophile. I don't refer to him as "my grandfather" he is just "that … Continue reading the cycle of toxicity .
