Yes, I'm so pleased you asked me to read the story. It's sounds like you had to grow up way before you were meant to. It colours you for the rest of your life though. Some parents are just not cut out to be parents, sadly.
Thanks for taking the time to read my story. You're right that it colors a person forever. The way we grew up becomes a huge part of who we are. I'm glad you were more tuned in to your kids. I do think every generation tries to do better. I was far more watchful with my kids, too.
But I don't blame my parents for how I grew up. They were very young. My mom was just 18 when she had me. I can't even imagine what it was like for them. I know they did the best they could. They were learning as they went.
This is an incredible story that captures what l hear, see and learn from my life and inside the therapy room. Thank you for writing it and sharing it. You are an incredible writer. I am so glad you made time for it.
Thank you so much, Linda! The funny thing is, I wrote this before I had much insight at all into parentifiction, family systems, or birth order. But the more I learn, the more it reads like a case study.

Yes 18 is no age to have kids. You’re still a kid yourself at that age
