Yes they sure do. Also they prey on people who seem needy of love, which I suppose relates to low self esteem.
Whenever I've had a toxic relationship, I was at a low point in my life, more vulnerable, & more needy of love and attention. I was less picky about whom I chose and just wanted the love. Whenever I have felt like I'm in a position of strength, when my life has been more secure and stable, I've made wiser choices and have been far pickier.
Gymgirl, this is a great opportunity for you to learn from this experience. Take it as a learning experience so that you will be that much wiser and stronger with your choices the next time.
