All Healthy Relationships Have This in Common [PsychCentral.com]

Many of us don’t really know what makes a relationship healthy. Which is understandable, because many of us simply never learned. We look to our families to teach us, and depending on your childhood experiences, you might’ve seen a very different picture. A picture that was anything but healthy (though you assumed, again understandably, that it was totally normal and common).

Maybe you regularly heard screaming and slammed doors. Maybe you regularly saw conflict go unaddressed, put away in a box in a bedroom. Maybe you regularly saw sulking and silent treatment. Maybe you regularly watched masks being worn, a pretending that everything was fine when it clearly wasn’t. Maybe you regularly saw shaky boundaries and emotional outbursts.
