Abstract

The phenomenon of destructive parenting by "toxic parents" creates a relational dynamic that frequently leads to deep-seated conflict, placing children in moral, psychological, and social dilemmas. This study aims to analyze Susan Forward’s "toxic parents" theory through a biblical lens to foster parenting transformation and relational healing between children and parents. This objective is pursued through a theological reflection on the Fifth Commandment. Employing a qualitative method based on literature study and a hermeneutical approach to the Decalogue, the research identifies three pivotal aspects for transforming toxic parenting patterns. Furthermore, the study outlines three primary strategies children can implement to restore parental relationships and break the cycle of intergenerational trauma. These findings offer a theological framework for pastoral counseling and family restoration in the face of dysfunctional parenting dynamics.
