71: Are You The Functional Eldest Child? How Parentification Impacted Middle & Younger Siblings
In this episode, Minaa B. challenges the narrative that only eldest daughters are parentified by giving voice to middle and younger children who were forced to become the "functional eldest" in their families. She explores five key reasons why middle and younger children end up carrying adult responsibilities and how parentification fundamentally distorts sibling relationships by creating resentment. She offers concrete strategies for navigating these damaged relationships and retiring from the parentified role as an adult. Resources Work with me: Book a 1:1 therapy consultation.
