I am sure there must be a definition out there... But it all also depends on what we can handle and we can't handle.
So what's a toxic household according to you?
 
A toxic household to me is one where narcissistic parents don't empathize with their sons or daughters. Especially if they don't share the same hobbies, relationship goals with people their own age, and straight up gatekeeping their own kids' independence for the parents' mental stability (they would throw a fit and try to change the subject when I wanted to get a license, for example).

Just straight up cognitive bias from the parent, with some apprehensive behavior by the parents reasons alone.

That's a harsh life!
Certainly toxic where you can't help but live sometimes else's life!

Very true, the lingering hate would only ruin things more.

Exactly however not many parents can actually comprehend that.
They would be under the impression of doing kids a favour.... But what they are doing is making the kids get disgusted with the idea of marriage (_ _)/

People that are always negative, and refuse to clean up after themselves creates a toxic household.

Wow that's simple and accurate.
I am a pessimist by nature... And after too many setbacks it's hard to stay positive. However I keep those thoughts to myself -_-"

O.o to be honest, I would love that as well.
However, I will have to work thanks to my doll collection and I am pretty sure my mom wouldn't care if I were to quit working... Oh man.
That's kinda unacceptable for a man... Around here.... Here I thought...woman always end up with the short end of the stick....but.... Aigoooooo
 
There are plenty of definitions of a toxic household… parents who “don’t believe in mental health” and let their children suffer, the general unsupportive parents, the obviously abusive (physically, emotionally, or otherwise) parents… this can all be any caregiver, not just parents.

From my own personal experience, it was my “home” with my ex husband. The one who would outwardly say we were equal and put on a front around others to act supportive and respectful toward me. Behind closed doors, he turned the manipulation tactics up to 15 out of 10, made sure I felt like I should never see my friends and family, and cast me aside to play video games or chat on Discord. Then never work and never help around the apartment. That’s some of the lighter stuff. :/ I know, I know. I need therapy after him, but Mr. Forum Owner here has made my life much better and is helping me pick myself up from the ashes of my past.

I am glad that everything worked out in the end.
That's an isolation tactic where you have no one to rely on... Oh man....

Take care kiddo.
