u/Meal-Significant

I truly don’t know who I am outside of the parentified adult I’ve been raised and conditioned to be. My childhood and young adult experiences are nothing like those of my peers and I often feel like an outsider when trying to connect with others. I’m the youngest of 2 kids and have been responsible for my parents and older siblings mental, physical, emotional, financial, and medical caretaker since the age of 15. And with each passing day my family’s demands/needs only become more and more difficult to bear and deplete me faster.
