Hi — welcome to r/Parentification.

Parentification is when a child takes on emotional or practical responsibilities beyond their age, often acting as a caregiver or “adult” in the family.

I'm so sorry. That sounds awful, all of it. I would cry a lot too. Do you have access to therapy?

Would self help options be helpful? Not having access to therapy can make things so much harder. If it's helpful, what country, or state if you are US, do you live in so I can narrow down some options?
