Toxic family behaviours during the holidays

When we are brought up in dysfunctional families, going back home to meet relatives can be a distressing thing to do, especially during the holiday season. "During the festive season, the saying - blood is thicker than water - often emphasises family bonds amid the joy of Christmas.

It’s important to acknowledge that while this time signifies togetherness, it doesn’t overshadow the complexities and potential toxicity within familial relationships," wrote Therapist Lalitaa Suglani. Here are a few toxic family patterns often repeated during the holidays.

Top causes of resentment in relationships

When we do not address the conflicts in the relationship for a long time, it can accumulate and slowly grow into resentment and frustration. "Resentments left unchecked tend to build, escalate, and spiral out of control. They become a wall that creates distance, which often feels safer than addressing the issue head-on. As resentments accumulate, so does the pain, making it challenging to empathise and offer kindness," wrote Therapist Jordan Green. Here are a few reasons that can lead to resentment in a relationship.
