You have to pay attention to who you become when life changes chapters.

Main message: Toxic traits show up in many different behaviors and seasons of life, and they can be hard to recognize because the same person can act very differently in different chapters. The Genesis story of Rebekah illustrates how patterns can shift and reveal underlying toxicity only in certain circumstances.

Key points:

• Toxic traits can appear as boundary violations or failure to set boundaries.
• Both abusive behavior and enabling or submitting to abuse can be expressions of toxicity.
• Examples include verbal disrespect and chronic irresponsible borrowing or financing.
• Toxic traits are difficult to diagnose because they don't always look the same and may only surface in certain life chapters.
• The Rebekah narrative in Genesis is used as an example of how a person can show up one way in one season and another way later.
