Showing results for "Born" in Conflict Resolution

The weight of being the family stabilizer shows up in ways most people never see. Anxiety that feels permanent. Relationships where you give until empty. A bone-deep exhaustion from managing everyone's emotions except your own. Oldest daughters and firstborn children inherit more than birth order. They inherit unspoken family roles, unprocessed trauma, and the silent expectation to hold everything together. This pattern doesn't have to define your life.

Are you in an abusive relationship? Are you being controlled by others who say they care about you? Do you feel you have no power to change your life? Toxic people can be found anywhere in everyday life. They can be found in intimate relationships, in the workplace and in places of worship. They are self-centred, abusive, manipulative, and lacking empathy. They may be referred to as narcissistic, selfish, or sociopathic. They often mask their negative traits by being charming or friendly.
