“When a child takes on a parent's burden—whether consciously or unconsciously—he or she misses out on the experience of being given to, and can have difficultly receiving from relationships later in life. A child who takes care of a parent often forges a lifelong pattern of overextension and creates a blueprint for habitually feeling overwhelmed.”
