The 7 Hidden Signs Your Adult Child Is Toxic ⚠️

What happens when the person showing toxic behavior is your own adult child? In this episode—our most requested yet—we’ll uncover the clear signs your child’s behavior is truly toxic, how you may be unintentionally enabling them, and the undeniable giveaway that you’re being manipulated.

Parent Traps 🪤
We’ll explore the two most common traps parents fall into—the “Rescuers” and the “Deniers”—and why both can keep you stuck in painful, unhealthy cycles.

What You’ll Learn 🧠

  • Manipulation of Emotions – How toxic adult children twist your love and concern to control you
  • Playing the Victim – Why nothing is ever their fault
  • Disrespecting Boundaries – How they guilt-trip or push back against limits
  • Drama & Conflict – The chaos they create to keep attention on themselves
  • Sense of Entitlement – How they expect support without reciprocity
  • Enabling Behaviors – Subtle ways you may be feeding their toxicity

Scripture reminds us in James 3:16: “For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.” Recognizing these signs is the first step toward freedom.
