Enmeshment

A family dynamic where boundaries blur and individual identity is subsumed into the family unit—people know each other's thoughts, feelings, and business with little privacy or separation—which can feel like deep connection but often prevents actual autonomy. Children from enmeshed families sometimes struggle to know what they want versus what they think they should want.
