Why You Stay Loyal To The People Who Hurt You

Everything is fine until it isn't. The moment when you start noticing the twinge in your stomach, and you can't ignore it anymore, marks the threshold of an awakening to what may be the reality of toxic relationships in your life. Codependents are those who sacrifice the self for a toxic one way relationship, whereas a narcissist sacrifices the relationship for the sake of their ego. When a codependent, highly empathic individual begins to awaken, they cannot unsee what they now see: the passive aggressiveness, the stonewalling, disrespect, and minimization.

Many adult children of toxic family systems, are programmed to deny, ignore, and never feel their true feelings. They learned early that connecting with their painful inner reality threatened their connections to others, which triggered a sense of fear and abandonment.
