Scenario

When your child becomes the caregiver in the relationship

My teenage daughter sees right through all my attempts to seem like I have it together and lately she's been mothering me in ways that make me feel like I'm failing as a parent. We both pretend this role reversal isn't happening but it's becoming the undertone of everything we do together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The collapse of parental authority can create shame that further erodes the very competence being questioned.
