1. Recognize the signs of a toxic relationship.

The first step to getting out of a toxic relationship is to recognize the signs. Some common signs include:

• Emotional abuse: This can include name-calling, insults, and threats.
• Manipulation: This can include gaslighting, guilt-tripping, and emotional blackmail.
• Control: This can include controlling your finances, your social life, and your decisions.
• Isolation: This can include preventing you from seeing your friends and family or from participating in activities you enjoy.

2. Set boundaries.

Once you have recognized the signs of a toxic relationship, it is important to set boundaries. This means setting limits on what you will and will not tolerate. For example, you could tell your partner that you will not tolerate being called names or being isolated from your friends and family.

3. Get support.

Getting out of a toxic relationship can be difficult, so it is important to have a support system in place. This could include friends, family, a therapist, or a support group. Talking to someone who understands what you are going through can help you to feel less alone and more supported.

4. Make a plan.

Once you have set boundaries and gotten support, it is time to make a plan for leaving the relationship. This plan should include how you will get out of the relationship, where you will go, and how you will support yourself financially and emotionally.

5. Leave the relationship.

Leaving a toxic relationship can be scary, but it is important to remember that you are not alone and that you deserve to be happy. If you are afraid for your safety, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233). Once you have left the relationship, it is important to focus on your own healing and recovery.

6. Be happy.

Getting out of a toxic relationship is a difficult process, but it is possible. By following these steps, you can get out of a toxic relationship and be happy again.

Here are some additional tips for getting out of a toxic relationship:

• Trust your gut. If something feels wrong, it probably is.
• Don't be afraid to ask for help.
• Remember that you deserve to be happy.
• Focus on your own healing and recovery.
• Don't give up. It takes time to heal from a toxic relationship.

Getting out of a toxic relationship is a major accomplishment. If you have been in a toxic relationship, be proud of yourself for taking the steps to get out. You deserve to be happy.
