Toxic relationship?

All relationships have issues. But TOXIC relationships are not normal, even though they are very common. They are relationships that cause emotional damage and often involve manipulation, leaving individuals feeling depleted and unvalued. Other warning signs include: constant criticism, jealousy, and denying or twisting facts for the purposes of control or psychological harm.Long-term exposure in a toxic relationship is emotional and mental abuse and can develop into the clinical disorder or PTSD, or at least the experience of associated symptoms. See my other quiz on PTSD.This quiz will help you see if a relationship in your life might be toxic and outside the normal range of everyday issues. The good news is that there's help —you don't have to continue living this way.
