How did you learn about toxic relationships?

Question

Today I realized that no one taught me about toxic relationships. I remember being 18 and my friend mentioned that saying and I had no idea what it was. Wasn’t until I was 23 that I started learning about toxic relationships as I was just leaving one. If I had known about red flags or known what to look out for, I would’ve avoided so many years lost on bad relationships

Answer

I learned from it happening to my friends in high school. I remember thinking “I don’t think a boyfriend should be treating their girlfriend this way?” 
So much manipulation and victim blaming. Then after she went to the school social worker about it, we learned that this is not normal behavior. It’s toxic.

Answer

No one taught me, I just kinda learned by watching my mother go through a lot of abusive and toxic relationships.

Answer

TV, watching friends.

Answer

For me it was a mixture. I learned the main points at home and then the rest I experienced through life and watching others.
