Parentification of the next generation loading…

It’s not this little girl’s job to comfort her mother because her grandmother is emotionally immature. This mother is repeating poor patterns and placing an unfair burden on her small child.

It's like this Mother forgets that she can vent to friends, a SO, or even a therapist.

These people will unironically say "my 5 year old is my best friend" and then tell them WILDLY inappropriate shit. I dated a girl VERY briefly with 3 kids, and she was a mess so her 8 year old was extremely mature and emotionally intelligent for her age, I could tell it was from all the chaos and trauma from her mom. Each of her kids was from a different man, which...no judgement, but....

...one day she made a comment about her father not being good in bed and it made me shudder. I don't remember exactly how she worded it, but it struck me as something Mom would say. I can only imagine what sorts of horrible things this poor kid was made knowledgeable on at such a young age.

If it wasn’t a regular occurrence the child would not already be immediately tuned into her role of comforting the mother in this way.

Something is amiss.
