@anthony.hester: Being the “little husband” to your mom is one of the most damaging forms of emotional parentification. Instead of being allowed to be a child, you were forced into the role of caretaker, confidant, and emotional partner. This toxic family dynamic shows up in households with emotionally immature parents, narcissistic mothers, or codependent parenting. It creates deep trauma wounds that affect adult children of dysfunctional families long after childhood is over. If you grew up feeling like your mother’s partner instead of her child, that was not love, it was emotional abuse. Healing from parentification, enmeshment, and role reversal is possible, and you are not alone in this journey. This content is for cycle breakers, black sheep, and survivors who are ready to reclaim their childhood, set boundaries, and finally put down the weight they should have never carried. #emotionallyimmatureparents #cyclebreakers #toxicfamily #childhoodtrauma #parentification

In Africa it’s a privilege to support your parents and look out for them, I just don’t understand how can someone have no contact with their parents for yelling at them. You even mentioned she was going through Mental Health issues.

People puting Africa as example: In Africa you are brainwashed since you are kids to believe that you are the saviors of the house, believing that you “have” to take care of your parents or even family since an early age, migrate, send money back home and make you feel like a bad son/daughter for not doing it but in reality the weight of the responsibilities, invalidation of your feelings, and all the rest that comes with it is making nothing but create traumas and making your life miserable as you constantly live for others AND reproducing this behavior with your own children, so basically continuing the generational curse. So Africa is not the best example.

I’m so sorry you went through this. I went through very similar & went no contact with my parents a few years ago. Best decision. People who grew up with supportive parents judge & don’t understand us. Bc they will never know what it’s like to have had our life. I’m so glad you’re sharing your story for the people who want to get out, but can’t. 💗

The psychological term for that is MATERNAL ENMESHMENT. They destroy their children.
