This week, Jodi shares how her childhood was full of intense trauma and immense responsibilities. Parentification is the role reversal between parent and child where the child becomes the caregiver. Jodi is a survivor, and she wants everyone to know, "if I can, so can you!" You can follow Jodi on TikTok @x_jwright23

Parentification occurs when parents look to their children for emotional and/or practical support, rather than providing it. Hence, the child becomes the caregiver. As a result, parentified children are forced to assume adult responsibilities and behaviors before they are ready to do so.
