Anwar White explains how toxic loyalty in romantic relationships often stems from neglectful or abusive parents who taught you to stay engaged with people who hurt you. Recognizing parental harm is the first step to breaking the pattern.
Hey girl, if you are loyal to a fault, then we need to talk about something. One of the reasons why we can be loyal to the point where it really does hurt us is because we have been involved with neglectful and abusive parents and we have been taught and conditioned to actually continue to engage with these individuals that hurt us. So when you find yourself in these adult romantic relationships and you continue to stay on and stay longer than you need to realize where the origin of that comes from. The first step in healing that and breaking that pattern is being honest and true about what your parents have done to you and how you experience them. There's none of this, oh, they were, but they're good people and they're good parents. No, we got to be honest about who they are and what they did to you. That's the first step. Once you can get there, then we can start breaking some of these toxic patterns in your relationship. Let me know if this resonates with you below.
