If you were a parentified child, you might still carry the weight of responsibility that was never yours to hold.
You may find it hard to rest.
Hard to ask for help.
Hard to believe you’re worthy just as you are, without over-giving.
These journal prompts are an invitation to pause — to reflect on how parentification shaped you, and to begin gently reclaiming what was lost.
- 🌱 What did you learn to give?
- 🌱 What did you receive in return?
- 🌱 And what might it look like to love yourself without earning it through care?
Take your time. Go slowly.
You’re allowed to put the weight down.
Love, Jen 🪷
