Dr. Lillian Glass, a California-based communication and psychology expert who says she coined the term in her 1995 book Toxic People, defines a toxic relationship as “any relationship [between people who] don’t support each other, where there’s conflict and one seeks to undermine the other, where there’s competition, where there’s disrespect and a lack of cohesiveness.”

While every relationship goes through ups and downs, Glass says a toxic relationship is consistently unpleasant and draining for the people in it, to the point that negative moments outweigh and outnumber the positive ones.

Maraya escaped a toxic (love) relationship where she was really drained and broken down but the situation helped her realize who she really is and what she truly want and why she is here on this earth. Since she escaped the toxic relationship Maraya has build herself up again. 

Maraya amazes me with her positive energy and the wisdom she has to share.
