Thank you for sharing this brilliant article with clear examples. The drama triangle is extremely unhealthy and I would say dangerous. Those involved may or may not even be aware what they are doing or what role they are taking (victim, persecuter etc). I have come across similar dynamics, and triangulation, that are deeply disturbing, and created terrible conflict where there was disempowerment and lack of control. I believe the drama triangle is definitely common enough for it to appear normal and can become one's "abnormal" way to relate, leaving one stuck forever in toxic relationships if the drama isn't recognised and broken.
