If you were pulled into your parents’ fights, you may have grown up feeling like it was your job to fix things.
To soothe one parent. To protect the other. To stay quiet. Keep the peace.
This is a form of emotional parentification, and it can leave behind deep feelings of guilt, confusion, anxiety, and responsibility.
You might still carry those feelings into your adult relationships. You might still feel responsible for how others feel.
But this was never meant to be your role. You were a child. You deserved protection, not pressure.
And healing begins when we finally say: “I don’t have to carry this anymore.”
