  • Denial of neurodivergence.
  • Very direct communication.
  • Routines with housekeeping and meals.
  • Spending money on things that made his life easier. Seemed not to care about finances.
  • Did not have many friends.
  • Not taking responsibility for the impact of his behavior.
  • Cultural differences.
  • Understanding which behaviors are toxic.
  • Adjusted her life to fit into his life and routine.
  • Feeling exhausted and started to implement boundaries.
  • Relationship began to change after boundaries were being set.
  • Everything had to be his way and he stopped being loving and kind.
  • Understanding when gaslighting was occurring.
  • Not taking responsibility for any of his behavior.
  • Not feeling bad or sad when you hurt someone you care about.
  • The importance of focusing on people’s behavior and not ignoring when actions are toxic.
  • Pay attention when someone doesn’t apologize or take responsibility for their behavior.
