It can be so familiar, you get anxious without it. Like a constant waiting for the other shoe to drop times 10 to the really f'ing big exponent. Also depending on the toxicity someone might act out in ways that look counterintuitive to "drive" something to happen, simply because THEN they know how to be.
We all have our experiences to educate us and if we're really lucky, an honest pack to support and love us.
My best, was to deal with the child/children in front of me. To attempt to really "see" them and what was needed. That can be hard enough under normal circumstances, now add in dealing with big emotions too.
