There are many types of toxic parents.
Nowadays, there are many books and various interpretations and ideas about toxic parents.
I am not a doctor or a psychological counselor, so I don’t know what the psychological types are, but the toxic parents I have seen in my clients generally fall into the following three types.
(1) Indifferent type
(ii) Dominant type
(iii) Parent-child reversal type
However, these three types are not limited to just one type, and there is often a mixture of other types around one toxic parent type.
And this toxic parent is divided into three patterns: only the mother, only the father, and both parents.
When both parents are toxic parents, they are rarely the same type of toxic parent; they are different types of toxic parents from each other.
Therefore, the emotional scars of childhood are in a state of deep and great hurt.
Also, parenting is basically done by mothers, so I feel that 80% of the toxic parents I have healed are mothers and 20% are fathers.
However, if one parent is a strong toxic parent, the one who does not stop it is also an accomplice in my opinion, and as a result, I believe that in many cases both parents are toxic.
Therefore, I believe that it is best to heal each person individually, as each person’s state of mind is completely different according to his or her nature and upbringing.
