How you been Parentified as a child? Did your parents depend on you? Did you feel responsible for them. Parentifying might be the cause of your childhood traumas.
Parentification is when the roles in a family is reversed. The child starts to act like a caregiver to a parent or a sibling.
There are many causes for this situation. One of the parents might be violent to the other one and the child feels the obligation to defend her/him. Or a sick parent can force a child to take care of them or start to work in a very young age to support the family.
Toxic relationships often cause suffering to the children. As you know childhood traumas can follow us to our adulthood. Since parentification is not in the open like physical abuse it is more damaging. The role of the child slowly shifts to act as an adult.
In some extreme case the child has to stop the parent from doing self harm like overdosing, or suicide. Or defending the siblings against physical violence. Immature parents can also force the children to grow up early emotionally and shift into a role to take care of themselves or their siblings.
Even if you were a parentified child you can still heal from the Trauma. It is a long healing journey but healing from parentification is possible.
And remember,
Trauma equals Disconnect
Healing equals Reconnect

It costed me my childhood, my innocence, my sanity and my self-esteem. From age 4 to 16, I raised 5 siblings. I was told repeatedly that I existed as the oldest caregiver, so they WERE aware.

@gabrielamaya2964 2 года назад

please only have as many kids as you can raise. I was born into a very large family where my parents made the older children raise the young ones. It made me hate children, resent my siblings and I haven't spoken to my parents in 10 years. it's pretty much the same with my other older siblings. none of us have children of our own, our childhoods were stolen when we were forced into the responsibility of being parents to our younger siblings. Just sharing perspective.

I was ALWAYS comforting my mum. Even at 10, she would vent to me about everything and all her trauma and cry to me and I would hug her. She placed so much emotional responsibility on me and threw her emotions at me and expected me to do something about it. I felt so unsafe as a child and so empty and had no idea why. That was why. I didn’t have a mum, I had a child.

Before my father died of cancer he left me a note to say 'you will be the man of the house' and I felt the weight of that the minute he passed. I was left only with my mother and sister at the age of 12 and expected to counsel my mother for her own child abuse from her mother and to look out for my sister who indulged in risky behaviours to get the attention of my mother which failed. Although I wasn't cooking food everyday, I did have to do all the gardening, mowing the lawn, counselling my mother and mediate the daily arguments between my mother and sister. I still got to play video games and go out with friends so it wasn't a prison sentence. But I live with an ongoing lifelong sense of responsibility for my mother and sister to some degree who eventually went into rehabilitation and AA recovery. My academic studies really took a hit too and I did not perform well at school with all the distractions and worries. I lived by people pleasing and substance taking for many years until I hit 40 and my health declined severely. I've spent 5 years recovering and an still improving each day.

My mom who is an only child got into a toxic relationship then marriage since she was *15*. She wanted a daughter (me) to be her companion, since she doesn't have sisters. Since I was a child, i was getting emotional baggage from her for example complaints on how she is alone and has no sisters to talk with etc. (Even though she aborted my own sister later. There was no issues with health or anything.) And how her relationship with my dad was toxic which is true. So I always felt like it's on me to take care of her emotionally and protect her. Now I'm almost 30. I'm tired of it. I'm so used to it that if a day passes without talking to her, I feel guilt.

@rebekahpuma9667 Год назад

Thank you, it's hard to tell if it's the case being it's your parent, but emotional parentification is real. As an only child it was hard, I went to stare custody more than once. I've always been serious and struggled to play with my own kids because I barely knew what it was. In my 40s, I'm now going to seek some serious therapy.

@eottoe2001 Год назад

Love is also a confusing thing because there isn't much of it or love coming to you because you have to be the adult taking care of "children parents.' Love is confused with care taking. Love is confused with being the responsible one. Love is conditional.

@tessellatiaartilery8197 Год назад

This was very clear and helpful. Concrete explanations and suggestions. And you have a very pleasant speaking voice and kind manner. Thank you very much.

@rittm5785 Год назад

thank you for your kind words

@Gloroxsocks Год назад

This happened to me but nobody believed me and now I’m an adult it’s expected of me (it feels) i barely got a break

@tiablasangoriti8347 2 года назад

Yes, I experience all that mess.

@HomeFrendsten 25 дней назад

They do not care, but make children care for them , theyare irresponsible people who put burden on young children

@rae9954 Год назад

I was with some friends yesterday and someone asked if we remembered our first word that we could spell. And I was just like shocked that they could remember that and than they started naming names of students and memories and I was honestly shocked I started trying to think of memories and things of that nature especially with school and honestly I just blanked it was crazy the stress I relate a childhood too. All of this resonates is kind of insane but I mean to an extent I always knew this my mom always says I’m more of a adult than my father so you know.

@samuri2011 2 года назад

What is the age cut off for this? Like... What if you feel you've been parentified in college? Does that count?

@rittm5785 2 года назад

I think the younger you are the worse the trauma is. Being parentifying in college can be still very stressful but it depends on a lot of other factors (such as parents' age, health status etc) before one can say whether it was traumatic or not. Your feelings are more important than the age.

@gigicolada Год назад

@samuri2011 Yes absolutely. I was a mediator for my mom and all her husbands since I was a child but when I hit 18, her last divorce lasted almost a decade and I was smack dab in the middle of it because all I knew of myself was that my role in life was to always defend her and look out for her. I’m now in my 30s learning about all this and I spent my early 30s reparenting myself. The sooner you figure it all out the better. Most of us don’t realize the trauma of it all until our 30s.

@alishamunwar7294 5 месяцев назад
