We rely on our parents for our physical, emotional, and spiritual development. We’re born fully dependent on them. The truth is most of our parents never learned to: meet their own needs, let alone another person’s needs.

@sarahlugor children do not spontaneously form connections with their parents because they’re simply “supposed to honor and respect their parents.” children connect with those that nurture them. if the ones that are meant to be their primary nurturers keep breaking them, they seek elsewhere.

Narcissistic parents demand their children define their sense of self worth. The pressure is an invisible chain the child carries while doing anything to get love from their parent who doesn’t even love themselves.— Dr. Nicole LePera (@Theholisticpsyc) October 19, 2022

If you were “mature for their age” you might have been parentified. Parentification is when a child is made to fill an adult role. This is an “invisible” trauma that has life long impact. HERE’S WHY: 🧵— Dr. Nicole LePera (@Theholisticpsyc) October 16, 2022
Parentification is an extremely common family dynamic where children are expected to: manage their parents emotions or issues (most common is marital problems), take care of the home & siblings on a regular basis, or act as a peer to a parent.
Children adapt quickly to this role. They learn they must betray their own needs, desires, & emotions to keep the connection to a parent. Many children feel a fierce sense of loyalty to the parent thats parentifying them.
They want to fix, rescue, & protect that parent. It’s a true role reversal.

The use of fear to control children is so ubiquitous that most adults don’t even realise they are doing it. They’d never describe what they are doing that way. But in so many different ways, the children feel it. Here’s what it looks like. 1/— Naomi Fisher (@naomicfisher) October 14, 2022

Witnessing your parents have a dysfunctional marriage has a deep impact. You didn’t learn open communication, emotional support, or healthy ways to get your needs met. As an adult, learning these skills should be a priority.— Dr. Nicole LePera (@Theholisticpsyc) October 15, 2022
