I'm going to Google "parentification," too. One of the moments for me was at 12 when my mom told me that she had not committed suicide because of me. I felt responsible for her safety and well-being after that. There were much earlier signs that I was the adult, but that's when I remember it being specifically requested. At the time, she was being daily attacked by her boyfriend. It was hard not feeling responsible for that (not to mention all her drug use). Thanks for bringing this up. I think it's important.
