Signs you were emotionally parentified:
• You knew things about your parents’ relationship a child shouldn’t
• You mediated arguments and held siblings together

• You’re the helper in every relationship and struggle to receive care

Being responsible wasn’t your strength. It was your assignment. You’re allowed to put it down.
