10 Depressing Truths Bojack Horseman Will Teach You
8. You Should Never Excuse Toxic Behaviour - Even If It's From Someone You Love
This is a truth that appears rather consistently throughout the show. It doesn't only present itself in the form of Bojack and his relationship with others but also in a plethora of other scenarios. Ultimately the truth of the matter is that there is no reason ever to justify someone's toxic behaviour towards you or those you care about.
When you love someone, you can make plenty of excuses for them. This happens quite a lot with Bojack. Those in his life stick around because they invent these reasons to believe that he needs them, and they sacrifice their happiness and sanity to accommodate his. But in the end, it always results in the same outcome, them deciding that his toxicity can no longer be justified.
The series wants you to know that it is a sad certainty that you will have to cut ties with those who aren't right for you. Taking care of yourself mentally is the same as your physical health. You can't make excuses, and you simply need to route out things that cause you problems and let them go.
Sometimes this can be painful because you care too much, but it is essential.
