Toxic family dynamics: How do you deal with it?
in Psychology & Therapy ·
Since you spent so much time living at home, you’ve obviously carved out your own little routine and independence—so it makes total sense that having different people constantly shifting around you feels jarring. I’ve actually been in a pretty similar spot myself; most of what you mentioned might seem like minor things on the surface, but after a while, they really start to get under your skin.
Also, regarding all that bickering within the family... you have to realize that this is just how they operate. It's hard to change people who aren't looking to change, so honestly, you're better off not even trying.
Instead, try to keep your eyes on the prize. Don't overthink the chaos—just focus on yourself and everything waiting for you at college and beyond. Good luck!
