Damn. How tf did someone figure this out. What I thought their wasn't a word for this.... What the heck.

[shaundaross]

yep...100% me from a traumatic childhood. Covid slowed me down enough to see it and now I am getting help to heal. Thank you. ❤

[Overarainbow-rrly]

Powerful analysis. Thank you very much for explaining this in a short video. Much love and gratitude to you 💖

[MishkaTia]

Omg! I am all of this finally realising why I became like this on my way to discover who I am and celebrate my needs thank you for helping 🙏🏼💕

I think ALOT of us who are the older child are like this because that's the way it ends up being in our position as the oldest. We end up being a surrogate parent/caregiver to our younger siblings and having to take on that responsibility at a young age sticks with us pretty much forever. Lifelong habits are the hardest to unlearn

I wonder who and how I am underneath the mother wound and parentified patterns? I am so excited about feeling less responsible and hyperaware.

I wish my alcoholic father could speak with you for just 5 minutes. Would there be a change, I don't know, but you've helped me quite a bit, at least. Thank you

[cindihunter]

Yes! You've just unraveled my entire life... Thank-You! I'm still over functioning and the way you've explained this self sabotage is me being a bully to me! Hmmm, taking this in - My two sons are both narcissistic as well! OMG! What a gem of revelation you are! Thank-You! 🤨
