You were the responsible one. The one who knew your mother's mood before she'd said a word. The one who kept the peace, said sorry for things you didn't do, and made sure nobody outside the house ever knew.
Now your child comes home from school with that look, and something in you is already scrambling to fix it.
It's the same on a Sunday. You've cooked the dinner, pictured everyone chatting around the table, and instead they're bickering, moaning about the food, or scrolling under the table. And you feel the alarm go off in your chest, as if it's your job to make sure everyone's happy.
In this episode, I talk about the box of responsibility you were handed as a child, why it followed you into parenting, and how to start sorting what's yours from what never was.
Listen to find out how much of what you're carrying was never yours to hold.
