“I
rose from humble origins with a toxic family background. When I was 18 years
old, I dropped out of college to support my parents and joined the Indian Air
Force. I had to struggle hard to earn my livelihood. I sacrificed my personal
time, invested a portion of my monthly salary and resources, and acquired
several qualifications including DME, BSc, MA, MBA, PGDCLL, and PGDBM. I earned
my Ph.D. in 2011. I understand the pain of life. I am a self-made man. I have
come to know that there's no such thing as a free lunch.” ―Professor M.S. Rao
I
was born into a toxic family and grew up in a toxic environment. My childhood
was like a hell. I enjoyed reading books. I did not have many friends. I
supported my parents in a tea stall. I was not getting the right ambiance to
pursue my education. I dropped out of college to support my parents and joined
the Indian Air Force as a soldier. The military life was tough and challenging
but I found it far better than my toxic family. I enjoyed interacting with
positive people in the Indian Air Force. I became organized and grew as a
disciplined citizen and as a leader. Here is how you can come out of your toxic
family background. Connect with healthy and positive people. Explore options to
come out of it. Forgive your toxic family and siblings. Support them as much as
you can because you were born into it. Forget the bad memories. Engage with
creative people. Invest in healthy relationships. Inspire people around you.
You cannot choose your parents and children. You can only choose your spouse
and career. You can choose your friends wisely who can support you. So, don't
regret being born into a toxic family. Don't carry emotional baggage. Forgive
them and forget negative people. Spend your time with the people who support
you. Don’t feel guilty that you were born to toxic parents. It is better to
separate rather than to live with toxic family members and suffer.
Conclusion
Lotus
blooms from the mud. Some of the greatest people were born into toxic family
background and inspired the world. They chose to be different and became
trailblazers. Stay inspired.
