In today's #coffeewithatherapist, we talk about parentified children and how to heal the ways they are in relationships as a response to their early childhood (if unresolved).

You may have been parentified if a parental figure relied on you for their emotional, financial, or physical support. This may also be the case if a caregiver relied on you to take care of other siblings, or if you ended up being the emotional go-to or listener in your family.

As a result, in adulthood and romantic relationships you may overly function for others, seek partners who aren't emotionally mature/independent, and feel resentment that others ultimately don't give to you in the ways you give to others.
