In my Profession I work with people who are unhappy in their life. Working on ones own self-esteem is critical. Only people with low-self esteem/worth are in relationships with toxic - abusive people. Accepting the Reality that Toxic won't ever change is the Answer to their problem. They don't like Reality but it is what it is. Sadly many people stay in those relationships for years hoping Toxic people will change, but they don't. Just like magnets, the distance is obvious & cannot be denied.
