When childhood parentification becomes adult identity

I have been taking care of my alcoholic mother since I was seven and now at thirty-five I do not know who I am without someone to save.

What we've seen

The inner child's development was arrested by premature responsibility, making caretaking feel like the only legitimate way to exist.
