Toxicity can affect people in many different ways. Sometimes, it makes them want to find a way to escape. Escapism is the tendency to seek distraction and relief from unpleasant realities, especially by seeking entertainment or engaging in fantasy. I myself have used escapism. This short film has an example of toxicity in the form of Jeff's attitude towards Debb and Andy. Andy's dad's death reminds me of when my gramps passed away 2 days before I turned 10. The fact that Jeff would leave Debb and then come back reminds me of the cycle my dad and ex-stepmom had when I was a kid: before they got married, they broke up a couple times and my ex-stepmom would tell him to leave. However, my dad knew he had to be there for her kids because their dad was almost never around. In fact, Jeff reminds me of my ex-stepmom. Anyhow, it broke my heart to see Andy get slapped by Jeff. I'd recommend this short film.
