Toxic Family Test [View all]

https://patrickteahantherapy.webflow.io/toxic-family-test

I am in the process of healing from a toxic/dysfunctional family. Parents and sister and aunt.

My cousin (aunt's son) sent me this NYT article which featured this test. I got 79/100, severely toxic. (BTW, you'll be solicited to sign up for courses. I didn't but I still value the test and its results.)

I knew something was wrong with my family as early as age 10. They attacked me emotionally and mentally. I had to figure out by myself decades later (as recently as last year) what the real problem was. And it wasn't me. It was them.

The first sentence of Leo Tolstoy's novel Anna Karenina is: "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
