People like to casually throw the term "red flag" in everything without even seeing what a red flag is. The reality is that many red flags can be seen in people, just by coming from a broken home or a dysfunctional family is a red flag in itself. It is one of the most common red flags that most people will ignore to give another person the benefit of the doubt. But the reality is that these people are incapable of having healthy relationships, their definition of a healthy relationship is skewered and blurred by their past experiences. They are not stronger people for it but weaker, they should only date each other because they will never break the mold that their parents have set themselves-in.
