Do you think your parents might be toxic? Toxic parents can be hard to spot especially when you've been with them for so long and you can not recognize what's healthy parenting and what's not. In this video, we dive into signs that your parents may be manipulating you. Watch out for these signs:

2. They raise you to be codependent.

3. They constantly guilt trip you.

etc
