A parentified child is a child who is forced to act like an adult when they are still in their childhood. They tend to take on adult responsibilities for themselves, their siblings and often their parents.
Signs you were parentified as a child:
-Often told you were "mature for your age"
- Pulled into arguments between parents
- Relied on for emotional support from parents
- Spend a big chunk of time taking care of others in your family
-Often feeling responsible for the feelings and wellbeing of others
- Lack of boundaries with family members
- The familv peacekeeper
No time to be a child or engage in child-like activities

“She tweeted one criticism and the parentifiers came at her like she insulted their actual dad.”
